[Zeobit]

Wunderschön, danke fürs hochladen! Ich mag diese paar Sekunden Stille ganz am Schluss, wo der "Geist" des Stückes noch da is :-)

Since a short time the Tölzer Knabenchor in Germany (toelzerknabenchor.de) performs this Händel Oratorium. Some public performances are planned.

On Monday, June 13,2011 the choir (with orchestra under the participation of Yair Dal (!) and adult soloists of course) performed the Oratorium in Israel !

[Toelzerfanclever]

Das Händel-Konzert haben "meine" Tölzer jetzt im Programm, und zwar zunächst am 5.6. in Halle an der Saale und am 26.6. in der Lutherstadt Wittenberg...:)

Den link zum Konzertkalender habe ich den Informationen zu meinem letzten Video hinzugefügt !

[radeonpdY]

this piece always gives me goosebumps... love it

[rvaughanwilliams1988]

love this chorus!!! ... why wait so long for the applause though ...

[bbbartolo]

So many concertgoers don't know this oratorio, a shame. I now have 3 versions, but if I'd died at 65 I would never have heard it! And this finale arguably more exuberant than the Hallelujah Chorus or Worthy Is the Lamb... genius. Thanks for this excellent video!

Ein excellentes Ensemble das keinen Vergleich zu scheuen braucht. Bravo!
