"He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not."
WHOA!!! What happened to "He gave his back to the smiters and his cheeks to them who plucked off the hair. He hid not his face from shame and spitting!!". What a let down.
I agree with you. Indeed, the singer that moves me most with this aria is Carolyn Watkinson, in the 1982 recording with the Academy of Ancient Music, which is not available on YT, unfortunately.
Beautiful voice, beautifully sung with great feeling

5:05: so powerful and majestic! No other version can be compared to this; the force put in this beautiful chorus is indeed at her best here.
