Messiah (Handel): "Comfort ye, my people" and "Every valley shall be exalted" (Paul Elliott)

Comfort ye! Comfort ye, my people!
Saith your God.
Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem,
and cry unto her that her warfare is accomplish'd,
that her iniquity is pardon'd.
The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness,
Prepare ye the way of the Lord,
make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

Every valley shall be exalted,
and every mountain and hill made low,
the crooked straight,
and the rough places plain.

Paul Elliott's voice is perfect for this piece.

Paul Elliot in the tenor role in the Haendel's Messiah is the greatest singer I've ever heard. Prounciation and diction perfect, clair, pure and divine!!

Nobody sings The Messiah like him, yet!!

My favorite. It's not available on DVD or Blu-Ray, only in Laserdisc. Pity!

Great song...i really like it....

[ErktheEngineer]

I like how precise he is. Lots of opera style singers get a little sloppy, seeming to prefer excessive vibrato over tonal accuracy.

Truly, truly, truly... too bad we do not get to see or hear of him very often
