As the producer of this production, I am glad that so many people enjoy the performances of these wonderful artists, nearly 20 yrs later.

Thank you for posting it.

I have and old recording of this piece, and it was performed with percussion. Timpani, cymbals, bass drums, bells, - all the section. Maybe Mr. Marriner didn't like to use this version of the score...?

0:30, das Wasserschwein ist tot ; es hat viel Skill ;)

[ericwongty]

This is really the composition of all times.

[TheHaverfordNotables]

What do you guys think of the singers staying on the G for "giv" instead of going down to the f#?

[codonauta]

@TheHaverfordNotables It's an ornament over the F#. I think the result is good. Today sounds me odd if the F#

is gotten directly, without the G.

[pianomags]

@TheHaverfordNotables Hmm, kind of how we were taught to ornament for this stage of Baroque - (that you always approach those moments from the note above) so used to people singing it that way.

[Marthieka]

Is the order of the strings really 1st violin-2nd violin-cello, viola?

[jfbecks17]

@Marthieka

what do you mean by order? The order in the score, the range? In both cases viole are before celli.

Sir Neville, veritabilis magnus est

[Sakartvelo69]

i just love this part!!!

[JuanDeEnzina]

Tengo la fortuna de poseer este CD. El coro y los solistas me parecen extraodinarios. 

[TheKekho]

hermoso

[hobiehippo]

this is great - so light and airy and makes me think of european locations.

[ktjitterbug]

I sang this in my first year of college and brings back memories!!!!

[KermitW00T]

What a brilliant and precisely-singing soprano! I'm envious. She's this kind of singer that's perfectly suited to Handels music: No overdone vibrato and a light and pure voice... ♥

[301250]

hand it the british with their fine choral tradition...they are unsurpassable when it comes to the music of Handel. sd goh (malaysia)

[psyclone7]

The soloist looks like Princess Leia!

[magpie4321]

Perfect blend and vibrato just in the right places!

[fenaocha]

the year must be in 1997. I can see by the glasses. what a wonderful song!

[772144]

Certified Intergalactic!

[nessie96]

Excellent!!!!

[Jayasat]

this is the tidiest song from Messiah Oratorio

[codonauta]

It seems Sir Neville Marriner ( conductor )likes very much that part too. Have you notice his smile when the part starts?

[Jayasat]

aah.. yes...lol

u r pretty sensitive!xD

i also love this part very much!^^

[animanatural]

así es, Sir Neville sonríe ante uno de los fragmentos más alegres del oratorio, los coros son magníficos realmente. Gracias codonauta por subir estos videos.

[codonauta]

Yes, the corus are perfect, indeed.

[juanluis232323]

@codonauta ooooooooo

[g4thz]

The sopranos have had a few iffy moments, but I really appreciate the lightness of the tenors and the accuracy of the basses. This chorus is pretty much bomb.

Although I'd like a little more physical involvement from them.

[olialto7]

Well, this was 1992. And the chorus is rather posh and upright. They probably didn't want to make their enormous glasses fall off their faces...
