Little on the fast side … but stunning all the same .. combined with the video excerpts .. I wonder what Handel would have thought of this?

@legato699 I really couldn't believe what I was seeing, almost made me sick.

Its not that they are raging against EACH OTHER, they are RAGING TOGETHER AGAINST GOD...thaaaat's the point...
The Psalm Handel is quoting is Psalm 2:
1Why do the nations rage
and the peoples plot in vain?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers take counsel together,
against the LORD and against his Anointed, saying,
3 “Let us burst their bonds apart
and cast away their cords from us.”

These clips are nations raging against each other and within themselves.
-
Indeed, why do the nations fight so furiously rage together?
What's the source for the clip at the end, where a man gets stabbed repeatedly as he's bleeding on the street?
-
@shroudedinmystery Exactly! This is the most precisely sung rendition of "Why do the nations" that I've ever heard. And yet it doesn't sound sterile for it.

This guy does those long runs of notes absolutely fantastically!
No ambiguity of notes - excellent.

This from the movie version of director William Klein. He did a take on The Messiah from wich this excerpt is. It´s 5*****!

The baritone is Brian Bannatyne-ScottXD
I love this film!!
The last sequence is really hard to watch.
As for the music : Who is the singer? He's awesome. The best version of this aria I've heard so far
