Dear Youtube User

If you are the COPYRIGHT OWNER of this performance I kindly ask you to first contact me requesting to delete the
video but avoiding to fill a complaint to YouTube administration and I WILL DELETE IT IMMEDIATELY.

It is in fact impossible for me to know if some of my videos constitute copyright infringement because all the material I uploaded is the result of TV recording and passion for the music.

I uploaded the video just to promote the music I love.
I don't want problems with anybody and I never intended to break the copyright law.

Thanks for your understanding

  • WHOA!!! What happened to "He gave his back to the smiters and his cheeks to them who plucked off the hair. He hid not his face from shame and spitting!!". What a let down.

  • "He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not."

    Heaven!

see all

  • Once the Dalai Lama visited Swiss, he was offered this peace of dramatic music (that moved him visible) by a soprano and an extremely good Mezzosprano/Alto. Wonder who that Mezzo/Alto was? Beautful woman too.

    I have seen that on Dutch television.

    If anyone knows???

  • @gerubach72 Yeah! that's the best bit, all the rest builds up to it. Its a beautiful version though.

  • Beautiful voice, beautifully sung with great feeling

  • I agree with you. Indeed, the singer that moves me most with this aria is Carolyn Watkinson, in the 1982 recording with the Academy of Ancient Music, which is not available on YT, unfortunately.

  • 5:05: so powerful and majestic! No other version can be compared to this; the force put in this beautiful chorus is indeed at her best here.
