Handel: As steals the morn upon the night (HWV 55)

[brabantstraat]

As steals the morn upon the night,

And melts the shades away:

So Truth does Fancy's charm dissolve,

And rising Reason puts to flight

The fumes that did the mind involve,

Restoring intellectual day.

Does anyone know what's become of oedipustyrannus (or oedipustyrannusII)? The HD version of this performance that he uploaded has been deleted, along with all the other beautiful videos he posted. He seems to have vanished from youtube.

What sublime music, beautifully sung. One can only wish that the video were of higher quality.

Outstanding duet. For a little skinny guy, he can really belt it.

They should be close together & singing to each other,I know its not the done thing but it is so lovely.Kate & Ian are great together

@Teddyb1939

Teddy thats exactly my thought too. The space puts a cold barrier into what needs more warmth and brightness.
