Ive been told this is to be sung in the same tempo throughout ...even the middle section...does anyone know if this is an interperative decision?...stunningly performed in every way.
@mechulina006 Were you at the first performance of Messiah, that you know the "original tempo?" There are a thousand definitions of "Allegro," after all, and she evidently chose this tempo with excellent reason -- the fact that at that tempo, she can still sing those wonderful melismas in an immaculate legato and in one breath. And she sounds as splendid as only she can!

Beautiful, flowing, artistic and spiritual at the same time. A very rare achievement.

@glitterxmouthx Its an Oratorio. It is similar to an Opera but without the scenery.
