  • Its not period instruments or is it?

  • @pianist1501 It certainly is period instruments: baroque strings and winds, including three-keyed oboes and natural trumpets, all playing at about A=415, which is close to Handel's own tuning fork (422).

  • ¿Concierto grabado en la iglesia Matías de Budapest?

  • Creo que sí.

  • Thank you for posting this. I'm going to quit reading the comments of others who post on YouTube! Who do some of these people think they are? This was a great performance not matter which way you slice it. May the Lord never allow me to think that there's only one way to perform a great piece like this. And for me, a good performance like this burns through the inadequacies of YouTube audio.

  • Die Besten....

  • es mejor la version de la UEFA Champions League

  • I loved singing this song when I was in the choir.

  • This is really bad. Search for the 'Prom palace' version, it sounds infinitely better.

  • Guy at 1:42 - yeah, this is pretty good.

  • I love it

  • Brilliantly conducted and performed. Choir, orchestra, and conductor in perfect sync. Crisp and articulate phrasing; compelling dynamics. One of the best performances of a Handel anthem that I've experienced. Only wish the audio was a bit better.

  • @RevunBuford ... and 3:56

  • Very beautiful orchestral first part.
