Jephtha is my favourite oratorio. I really love Handel, wish I could have met him
-
I heard McKellars and others and nobody comes close.........
I know we all have childhood favourites etc but we arent convincing anyone i'm afraid.....better singers oft come along.......Ainsley is hard to beat.

Kenneth MaKellars blowns everyone elses away.

Listen to Mark Padmore's version for comparison. I really like his rendition too. It's a bit slower and you can really sink your teeth into the emotion of the accompanying music!
-
A great Haendel aria and a brilliant performance!

I have my handelian personal list:
- Waft her Angels through the skies (Jephtha)
- What passion cannot music raise and quell (from Ode for St. Cecilia's day)
- Son nata a lagrimar (from Gulio Cesare)
- My breast with tender pity swells (from Hercules)
- Se pietà di me non senti; Piangerò (from Giulio Cesare)
- Se vago rio(from Aminta e Fillide)
-D' Amor fu consiglio(from La Resurrezione)
- Gentle Morpheus, son of night; Tune your harps (both arias from Alceste).

The handelian supremacy by the supreme handelian tenor voice!
Thank you everyone!
I love his softly&gentlely voice.
I can feel calm whenever I hear his singing voice.
