Handel - Joshua - So long the memory... While Kedron's brook

http://airesimpalpables.blogspot.com

Recitativo y aria del Tenor (Josué):

So long the memory shall last,
Of all the tender mercies past.

While Kedron's brook to Jordan's stream
Its silver tribute pays,
Or while the glorious sun shall beam
On Canaan golden rays,
So long the memory shall last
Of all the tender mercies past.

John Mark Ainsley, tenor

Handel and John Mark Ainsley are a perfect combination.

Gosh! This is beautiful.

flawless, superb.....wish everyone else would stop trying to sell their favourites in the comments!! we all feel duty bound to support a pre-chosen singer at times, but its better to acknowledge when someone better has come along

Not quite up there with Croft but brilliant rendition to say the least. I suppose the only diff really is that we know Croft can also act at the same time. Better stage perormer tho not neccesarily a better tenor.

AH! What a lyrical, floating rendition of the technical bravura. John put a total paradignm shift on Handel for me. Thank you!
