sorry for the abrupt ending, I decided to cut out the final minute of the orchestral ending rather than split the video into two parts.

well said!

Clarinets didn't exist in Haendel's time, but the sure did in Mozart's... Do your homework, dear fellow, this is the MOZART rearrangement of the Messiah...

(Oh, by the way, this couldn't be Puccini at all... Puccini is in Italian... the original Messiah text is in English...) ;-)

Best interpretation I have heard so far. Nice to hear a woman sing this with such a beautiful natural sound, in such an unpretentious moving way. thanks!!!!!

This is Mozart's re-arrangement, right? As interesting as it is to hear it with the winds and in German, I still think I like Handel's original version better.

Terrible: it's like a melo-drama of Puccini! This is not Haendel at all (even clarinets, which didn't exist in Haendel's time). Pure kitsch

Impresionante voz e interpretación! Soberbia.

[debartzen]

La música tiene un poder evocativo tremendo.El resto es personal.¡Gracias.!

Seems odd to hear it sung in German!

Isn't it the truth. Her singing seems to go right to the heart, clearly coming straight from hers. This is a stupendous performance, an absolute treasure.
