Georg Friedrich Haendel (1685-1759)

Oratorio "Samson". Libretto von Newburgh Hamilton after/d'après/von: Samson Agonistes (Milton)

Aria (Micah): "Return, oh God of hosts", Act 2, Scene 1

Aafje Heynis, contralto

Vienna Symphony Orchestra
Conducted by Hans Gillesberger
1963

-
Return, oh God of hosts! behold
Thy servant in distress!
His mighty griefs redress,
Nor by the heathen be it told.

Chorus
To dust his glory they would tread,
And number him amongst the dead.
_
Retourne-Toi, Dieu des armées, et vois
Ton serviteur en détresse;
Répare les torts qu'on lui a infligés
Que les païens ne puissent les raconter!

Chœur
Ils aimeraient piétiner sa gloire
Et le dénombrer parmi les morts.

  • I am in AWE of such a beautiful voice! BRAVO! ☆☆☆☆☆

  • A lovely contralto voice with a distinctively seductive timbre. The rapid vibrato is not at all disagreable. A great artist !!!

  • Moins monumental que Kathleen Ferrier, mais quel timbre exceptionnel ! Hélas les contraltos se font rares... Merci
