Händel: The trumpet shall sound (Messiah, HWV 56)

[byohorn]

His voice is very rich, it has a great tone.

[MaxDexus]

Wish he had done the middle part ("For this corruptible..."). It is SO beautiful and enthralling and so difficult to hear nowadays.

[itismusic4life]

Thanks! What a voice! and thanks for letting us know that he is one of Otto Edelmann's sons, who I heard more than once in Amsterdam in the fifties! The golden era of singers!

[SoloLdy]

What a wonderful voice. He has surely been blessed by our God!

[Cissy97]

Humnnnn, I HAVE SEEN him live as Papageno in Die Zauberfloete.

Terribly engaging, marvellously sung and acted, magnificient stage presence!

The younger son of Otto Edelmann, no less!

[yeswecanread]

Who is this amazing performer. What else has he done? The trumpet is glorious too.

[Cissy97]

@yeswecanread

He is the younger son of the great bass baritone Otto Edelmann.

He has sung numerous Mozartian roles. Papageno is one of his calling cards.

Also, magnificient in Die Fledermaus...

Yea, the operatic world SHOULD learn more about this young baritone...

(His voice is very much like his dad's, too).

Perhaps this is from shop.vendio.com/blackivory28/i­tem/2008557204/index.html

[s05ullivan]

What performance is this from and can I get the DVD for it? Thanks *SO* much. -- Sean

[lacase111]

A fantastic performance of an exquisite piece 

[IdeliteintheLORD]

I like his costume.

[Knappa22]

Really nice and powerful interpretation.

Lol at the bizarre matador costume though!

[AgnesRegina]

Oh wow. This is splendid... every note and syllable intelligible, and such a gorgeous tone!! Bravo to the trumpeter too!

[MrAleks1972]

Am I just being a bit pissy but this is "The Trumpet Shall Sound" and not "The Eb Flat Cornet Shall Sound"

[mendelbenzonah]

FANTASTIC... A BEAUTIFUL AND VERY VIRILE VOICE!!! INSPIRING..........



[paullovesorgan]

that paul mccartney on trumpet?

[rosenvitae]

Gorgeous voice ^^

[adorima]

He has Professor Lockheart/Kenneth Branagh hair. :) AND a beautiful voice!

[operaticxingenue]

Lovely, gorgeous voice but what a boring orchestra. It's simply lacklustre.

[FeneGrenkle]

WHAT DA HELL

[jill506]

cute dude. nice voice. yes the trumpets sound good too. 

[chillcoote96]

I know not the man, but he displays a rich,pure and powerfully dramatic style that transfixes ones attention.No doubt the angels of heaven did cast an admiring glance towards him,being well-pleased that a mere mortal shows such appreciation for the gift he was given by god by exceeding all measures of delightful sound more valuable to the soul than all the treasures that in books are found.thank you!!!

[Cissy97]

@chillcoote96

His voice is very like his dad's indeed - Otto Edelmann, great Austrian baritone of the 20th century.

[wahheeeyy]

cutest trumpet ever

[MrWorldlove]

Many thanks for this awesome edition, - the only match I know of is Basil Lams edtition with the English Chamber Orcherstra.

But more importantly; this is not only music, but history captured in music and words.No wonder why Handel felt such an urge to finnish it, - as he did in only 22 days, if I remember correctly. It is good to know that God will fullfill history himself.. God bless and many thanks

again.

[MorbidJoy]

Be 'rased in corruptible. LOL

[Chesterbarnes1]

How sad that GREAT ORGAN sit unplayed. Look up there and see it ...sad!!!

[amapola647]

El trompetista es también excelente! una magnífica versión, tanto del cantante como de la orquesta.

[Gary2837]

I'm impressed with both soloists. The trumpet was magnificent and so was the vocal solo. Great talents and training!!!

[AML2000]

Of course to be really considered authentic you should sing the whole darn thing! As usual with these modern performances they leave off the B section to the words:

"for this corruptible must put on incorruption

and this mortal must put on immortality."

accompanied by the continuo alone to give the trumpeter a rest, as well as leaving off the da capo of the A section.

[Frottussle]

I believe this performance-- splendidly interpreted by this amazingly gifted singer -- is the best version of "The Trumpet Shall Sound" I have yet heard.

[jillgivler]

Oh my god, WHO is this SINGER!!!???? He is magnificent!!! His outfit looks like he ran over quick from a rehearsal of "The Nutcracker" next door, but wow, can this guy sing!

[carrotjuse]

@jillgivler If he keeps singing like that, I dont care if he wears a dress!

[jillgivler]

@carrotjuse Ha ha, me neither!

[mancroft]

@jillgivler Paul Armin Edelmann

[BeaverManification]

@jillgivler His name is Nuttsac Teebaggah, and he hails from Cambridge, Massachusetts.

[ASAALLA]

memorable



[musikal08]

Something to trumpet about this season!

[hiram81983]

magnifico

[BlodwynBeynon]

Love this...

[tw33ttw]

@ 03:19 how many tones too low?

[ViscountAlbany]

@tw33ttw The note he sings there is correct.

[isabeljrbr]

perfect!!

[MrGioviano]

Amazing!!! Emotioning! Splendidous!

[Horsemarine100]

I neither know nor greatly care if this is "fully Authentic". I only know it;s a wonderful, dramatic, joyful piece of music. Thank you carasaxone.

[Alcazar1931]

Thats a piccolo trumpet and by the way.. he is the solo trumpet of vienna symphonic orchestra

[jnurin]

@Alcazar1931 What's his name? I know a few trumpeters from Wien. And it looks like a piccolo in G (sol) as per his fingerings? Also, do you know where this concert took place?

[normantrombon]

I doubt that anybody writing in to youtube could even sing this movement in their DREAMS, let alone get through it on any instrument! So just enjoy the performance of this masterwork for what it is. some of you cyber-armchair-critics make me ill. 

[normantrombon]

Yes, anybody knows what kinda tube, what crazy mouthpieces might have been used by the 1st trumpet player the first time around? It wasn't THAT long ago! Nice rolling 'r's by the baritone! Not from Brooklyn, is he?

[mhoracsek]

I think it,s a rather good interpretation, and what a charming singer......

[darkslayer106]

Is he playing a Soprano Cornet Eb? Not very baroque!!

[khman1983]

It is not perfect to the style but most performances of the Messiah are not true to the style either. Many times there is too large of a choral group, orchestra, but still maintains the stylistic features of the music.

[khman1983]

Very nice performance and they stayed within the style of the Baroque performance of the piece. This is the best of the youtube offerings for this piece of music.

[HerrWarja]

@khman1983 They play on modern instruments from the 20th century in this huge orchestra and for some reason there is a guy in front of it waving a little stick around. This is as un-baroque as it could get. Atleasted they had a harpsichord!

[07rabo1]

And so what? It's good... does it matter if the singer uses shampoo rather than baroquely scratching his head with a stick?

[HerrWarja]

@07rabo1 I am not saying it isn't good, I am simply saying that it isn't rather in a baroque style with seem to be @khman1983 's opinion 

[07rabo1]

@HerrWarja sorry, my bad. I guess I have a tendency to see "baroque extremists" everywhere... :p

[HerrWarja]

@07rabo1 No, I am not saying every interpretation of music of th baroque era must be preformed in the way the era intended. I am just saying this is not a baroque style interpretation.

[hxly2]

@HerrWarja Can you provide us with a good example of a true baroque style interpretation?

[HerrWarja]

@hxly2 There aren't any "true" interpretations of this piece, I guess you would call the original performance back in 1742 for the "true" interpretation, but Händel changed his music alot threw out the years so I guess he would be rather understanding of most versions. If you ask me I would say that one of the versions out there with Alastair Miles has a rather nice baroque bag to it! :)

[RunescapeWideos]

@07rabo1 Hah, head scratching. I laughed!

[MrGebjohn]

Hm... not the best rendition. Pretty out of control at times. And the English isn't great "raised" sounds like "raced" and quite a few funny vowels...

[NaitsabesWinklersson]

Sorry but this is a rather boring rendition. Europa Galante would have done this ten times better.

[TheSatanas666]

i had seen robots whit more soul than this fellas

[skingaz]

Forgive me but, who is that singing? He's amazing. :)

[Aiwendill02]

@skingaz : singer is Paul Armin Edelmann from Austria, orchestra is conducting Karel Mark Chichon and i think, that this was actually Christmas concert in Vienna 2008

[KelAlbudgies]

I LOVE THIS!!!! I'm so in love with his voice!!

[DubemDibi]

Fantastic...

[FekeN6]

Charming?

[Christopher8000]

very good job, well done

[surleweb]

The Bass looks a little bit like " Charming " in Shrek 3...

Sorry, I just couldn't help it.

[SINGENDER]

@surleweb Eher anders herum! ;-)

[chrissoftail]

amazing 

[canuckbombarde]

An Austrian broadcast from the Wiener Konzerthaus with the famed Wiener Sängerknaben. Unusual to hear a performance in English for a German speaking audience.
