superb..perfectly pitched..the understated singing has given the gentle instrumental rythm space to breath. No dramatic vocal tricks are neccessary. A sublime duet.

Arguably the best version of this unique, subtle and pure gem, yet there are other fine ones, too. Tears flow, time stands still, all is beauty and love...

Just sublime!

Perfect.

Love this version - the best track on Padmore's album. Beautifully restrained, and Padmore and Crowe's voices are well-matched! Thanks!

Last saturday at Wigmore Hall London. (28/11)
Beautifull performance of Purcell & Haendel by Mark Padmore.
Absolutely fabulous!

There is absolutely no argument this is the finest version. It is sublime

I've nothing against beauitful voices. But expressing the intention of the text should not be overlooked. It's not an either or situation - a beautiful voice can express the text very well, and that's my personal optional performance. I'd never suggest Madonna sing Handel - where on earth did you get that idea? I'm simply expressing my opinion about the nature of vocal music and the text. If you'll read my other posts, perhaps you'll understand that.
padmore/crowe vs. bostridge/royal... who really cares?
get over yourselves and just thank God for the beautiful music.

I think that this performance is how the gentleman G F Handle would have wished this to be heard. All too many of his works are played in a rather course and bombastic manner and this which has taken a day of my life to digest is gentle and subtle, no voice or part of the orchestra fights the other. Perfect.
