[saiko1970]

Fascinante 

[Serpico261]

here you have an ä from me

[rostomic]

Heaven - Emma Kikby singing Haendel..! Such clarity and feeling...

[10mato10]

so beautiful

[geminisque]

"...et in Terra pax!" Ejemplo para la paz: las Madres de Plaza de Mayo desarmando un tanque de guerra para hacer un monumento a San Martín -Libertador de América-, a Manuel Belgrano y a Mariano Moreno...

[TheChill4u]

Wonderful masterpiece from Handel, this is so marvelous, the classical music is wonderful, the baroque music is simply wonderful! Congratulations for this video, God Bless You! :-)

[AgnesRegina]

Her trills are absolutely NOT FAIR.... it's inhuman how perfect they are. Her voice was made for Baroque music. I <3 Emma!!

[rheaelizable]

AMAZING!

[Forteverum]

This is the piece that was lost for 400 years and was only rediscovered in 2001. It's from when he was in his 20s in composing school in Italy.

[AgnesRegina]

Totally epic... I want to learn this, if I could find two violinists and a pianist/harpsichordist to do it with!

[shekush]

yo creo que cuando haendel interpreto esto alla arriba se detuvo todo ;)

[baroquegeek]

Emma Kirkby is amazing. No over use of vibrato to hide behind. Very clean and beautiful singing

[nicosupersex]

super emma

[musicotodopodero]

Excelente Emma Kirkby.

Esta no es una versión actual de la obra, es bastante antigua.

Muy bien logrados los trinos (que en otras sopranos son una especie de trillo y vibrato, jejeje).

Pero lo mejor es el último número.

Insuperable todavía!!!

[bellini7verdi]

MUY BUENA EMMA.PARA LOS TIEMPOS QUE CORREN.PERO ESCUCHAD A ADELE STOLTE.MAGNIFICA VOZ DE LOS 70 ESPECIALIZADA EN EL BARROCO.TODA UNA BELLEZA DE VOZ.

[MrFilthyHyena]

Being able to masterfully compose such wonderful music is a talent beyond compare. To live in a mind like that and experience his thought process would be an experience of a life time...

[eddiemperor]

@MrFilthyHyena Love your comment :) Imagine Walking around Europe with all that music in your head, Life must of been alittle Strange For Goergie, Luigi and Wolfie :)

[kwabsam]

thats my man!! what a great piece! he's simply great

[nightmarexbat]

No wonder my friend loves this guy. She's in the city's chamber choir, and I think they're doing something of Byrd, and Handel, and she's always singing under her breath, and it sounds AMAZING! Even if she hasn't warmed up!

[hdsmau12]

Bellisimo!!!!!

[ildefonso1000]

ahah scarlatti ;)

[ALEXANDRISCARLATI]

caro Hendel o Haendel.Dimmi:

ma quanta farina e' del tuo sacco?

[SWOutlanderJE]

Haendel is what got me into baroque music, and classical music in general. And this is another example why. Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!

[spurnthemuse]

@SWOutlanderJE As you spelt, I just found out about the umlaut. SPURN THE MUSE!!

[HARMONICO101]

[jackjohnbob]

Yes, this is.

[musagloria]

[pollochicke]

Deus meus laudamus te, glorificamus te, adoramus te, benedicimus te, gratias agimus tibi, propter magnam gloriam tuam!!

[debartzen]

Gloria in Excelsis Deo.

Ego autem dico vobis:Diligite inimicos vestros.

Per sempre Pax..,

[pianist12]

Oh I hear a little "For Unto Us a Child Is Born" from the Messiah in this....

[lalagonegaga]

I first stumbled upon this piece in a soundtrack for a PC game Europa Universalis 2. That was in 2002. I thought this to be the most beautiful voice I have heard in my entire life. Six years and several hundreads of singers later, I still think this. EMMA KIRKBY IS PERFECT! P.S. At the time I first heard this, I thought the singer was 25 years old. :)

[Mafinus]

lol, me same.

[Nizlopi2]

Hell yeah - the entire EU2 soundtrack is safely on my ipod xD

[macmusikpro]

Thanks for sharing this. Absolute stunning. Dame Kirkby is trully one of a kind. A rare being...

[HumilisServus]

Magnificent, this is one of my favorites.

[firebreathone]

It is thought to be one of his earlier works.

[handelfan610]

do you have an idea of how early? is this before or after dixit dominus...he was 21 then.

[firebreathone]

Sorry mate, don't know about that!

[mordecad]

@handelfan610 It doesn't matter. This wonderfull Gloria was "taken" from Lotti's Missae Sapientiae.

[firebreathone]

The score for this piece of music was only discovered in 2001
