I've listened to some recordings of Händel's Dixit Dominus now and I like this recording very much but I prefer the one with Dessay, Naouri...

Although it's audio quality is very bad in my opinion there's much more power than in other versions.

I don't like the blend of voices in that one. In this one the voices blend so beautifully. Plus Natalie Dessay just needs to shut the **** up!

Could you please tell me name of the CD? Label? It's fantastic - thank you!

Dixit Dixit! Dixit dominus domino meo!

I put there as video response the Gardiner's version of Dixit Dominus, to compare.

My video doesn't have the entire movement. The mp3 is amputed in its final. I never got the entire recording of that.

[elias12186]

Well I do have it ;) I can up it also (i upped vivaldi's gloria with gardiner)

Clearly the best version of the piece I have ever heard, love how treats the orchestra and choir together, beautiful polyphonic balance, specially between 1st and 2d violins. Tempo is by no means too fast, this is a work of a young man full of vigor, on a path to show the World what he can, especially as the italians for whom he wrote it were famous for having the best choirs and musicians available at the time. Too bad, extemporations which they were famous for, it is quite a lost art nowdays.

@elias12186 Yes and here is another one which is almost as articulate as this, in some spots definitely better, and in others also definitely not...so??/ hehe...more to listen to.... /watch?v=wBfnkP2puU8&feature=r­elated

The Parrot/Taverner is hard to beat, as it has both articulation and Grandeur....

[bf2019]

@elias12186 There is another good Dixit Dominus of recent Vintage 2011: French no less, and quite entertaining: /watch?v=o0_c8Wl5L5M&feature=r­elated yes right here on YouTube...hehe....this french version is not quite as dynamic as this Parrot/Taverner but it is quite sonorous, and has a lot of warmth...better???mmm Also always thanks for uploading vivaldi/Veronica Cangemi/Inguistti Oroari a gem....

amazing

[stigekalder]

Also agree that this is the supreme recording of Dixit Dominus - at least within the observable universe ;.)

„Errare humanum est" as you should know. Please forgive my mistake oh great yugiohabridged432!

[yugiohabridged432]

@Ethratian Since you don't know the difference between it's and its, I wonder if you know the difference in anything else.
