Hilary's last note, singing the word "fire" just gives me the most awesome goosebumps!
bonbonquest
Me too! Scary ! In a good way 😁
Me too!
A true and wonderful contralto.
This has become a favourite of mine now! Wonderful worship music to praise the Lord with.
Beneath is the verse that this is based on.
Malachi 3:1-3
“But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap: and he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness”
Everything is impressive here: the bass, the alto, the choir, music...
The whole performance is VERY impressive.
he is out of tune in the deep notes
@@jandamskier6510 I’m sure he’s aware of that. You can’t guarantee perfection in every performance no matter the amount of talent and rehearsal.
The way he drops that vibrato at the bottom of every "shake" so geometrically is stunning and compelling.
Oh my Lord the Bass! His runs are frighteningly powerful!
I was NOT prepared for the Alto's voice! What a powerhouse!!
The choir! it's been a real while since I heard such clear and light voices at 5:30!!!
The orchestra and the conductor were magnificent indeed!!!!
I am duly pleased :)
🔥And no one is giving his name
@@awowoleopeyemi that is annoying.
@@awowoleopeyemiit is in the description.
her voice is stunning and enchanting. gives an incredible atmosphere.
her last note where she sings "fire" is very powerful. gave me shivers.
Most incredible voice that the contralto has. The low Ab at the end is so rich
James Walton so rich and scary ! Love it!! 😁
You wouldn't argue with her, with a voice like that!
Who may abide the day of His coming? I will!!!!! Worthy is the lamb!!!!
I enjoy her mimics song expressions she s so on fire 🔥 and take me deep into the song only looking at her face expressions I understand the song of His glory who shall stand like refining fire her eyes tells all enjoying every second of it 🥺❤️
Tremendous! Can't stop listening to this. I never grow tired of it. I just take breaks.
Melessa Lee me too!
6:56 And he shall purify…just a glorious sound!
Ms Hillary Summers .. Fantastic voice and energy. You make the running notes so beautifully executed. Wonderful rendition. Thank you .
I can't stop watching this wonderful music. It makes me shiver Everytime I watch it
J'adore le final d'Hillary Summers et le contraste avec les enfants de choeur !
Moi aussi!
What a voice! what an alto! superb. wonderful.
I love the deep voice of the bass and alto. As they sing I imagine how is going to be on that day.
What a extraordinary voice of contralto !!!
I instantly recognized the basso by his voice.
Great contralto too!
Hillary Summers est fantastique !!!
Quelle voix!
Je l'adore!!!
What a fabulous recording. The bass, the contralto and the boy's chorus: just perfect in rhythm, diction and balance. Hillary Summers is outstanding. Thanks.
The bass is electrifying and rich.... Both singers sang splendidly. The choir was highly amazing. A piece beautifully sang... 👏👏👏
That last note- dark and chesty was exactly how she should’ve sung the entire piece. She was good but those last few bars and especially that late note stole the show.
Agree with all the goosebumpers here, beautiful
I'm not sure it gets much better than this. Sublime execution, musicianship, and seemingly effortless vocal technique. What a treat!
Thank you very much for uploading this heavenly masterpiece.
what a wonderful warm, strong voice she has. Thankyou for posting this
How can I like this 10x
This is amazing am touched GOD ALMIGHTY bless you
One of my best contraltos Hillary Summers!!!
Simply Perfect. The best performance I've heard from this aria. And Summers & Miles make an awesome interpretation.
❤ The best version on TH-cam.

Yo me empeluzco cada vez que escucho a la señora Summers su voz es astonishing!
What a beautiful voice! Just stunning. A pleasure to listen to.
This is magnificent, so lovely.
So, so marvelous!! Congratulations!!
Excellent!
PURE PERFECTION.
Oh my!! I love this!!!
How wonderful. Just stumbled on this. Thank you!!
This aria always give me goosebumps.... Fire🔥
Undoubtedly the best rendition I have come across. Who is the female soloist? Her voice in the last few measures is harrowing. Brings chills each time.
Peace.
Don't know if anyone answered your question, but her name is Hilary Summers!
@Immortal see, that’s not a good answer. Kirby, is wonderful, but not a contralto. That’s like someone saying “I love apples, which type is this?!”
“An orange.”
I sang about an hour and a half of Handel's, "Messiah" last year in the Mission Valley Choral Society here in the Northwest part of Montana. I had two solos. And sang tenor with the chorus, in everything else. It was a MASSIVE undertaking.
Which two solos? What arias?
Amazingly expressed, 4:50 For he is like a refiners.... The ornamental notes at ''refiners'' is superly performed
!
Amazing. Everything about this is amazing.
First time hearing her - stunned - superb, what passion and power.
Splendido contralto. Brava
BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Just a real Queen .... tkank you so much !
Great, wonderful performance. And the text is very relevant.
A refiner's fire does not incinerate. It purifies. It melts down silver or gold, separates out and burns up the impurities.
Hilary Summers, the Welsh diva, is like a refiner's fire. Who shall stand, when SHE appeareth! This passionate Welsh woman is in charge. Fantastic. NON PLUS ULTRA
And Alastair Miles, 'the finest bass of his generation', is a special treat as well.
Händel’s MESSIAH for the exaltation and great delight, für die “Gemuethsergetzung” of music-loving ATHEISTS
Brilliant performance by all. BRAVO!
Helped me a lot to learn and sing this alto part in my choir concert, thanks
Una y otra vez...de lo mejor!!! Aunque esas voces ya hayan cambiado, han dejado una joya imperecedera. Gracias!!
5:13 truly amazing
oh my gosh YES!
Inmejorable.
❤️❤️❤️
and he shall purify
I've NEVER heard these songs sung like this! I only know the Quincy Jones versions. Wow
OMG! This woman is amazing!
waou! impressiv rendition
Wonderful, this video was very inspiring for me, as I recently sang this aria. Beautiful! Thank you for uploading!
Just wonderful, so missing the choir....
No puedo dejar de escuchar, la que a mí gusto y entender es una de las mejores interpretaciones del aria paga alto, que sublime que pasión !
Glad to have found Hilary Summers.
Come on guys! don't be so harsh on the bass, he's awesome! love his rendition of "the trumpet shall sound"
Yeah, he is great! That would be Alastair Miles.
I love the deep voice of the bass and t
This is FANTASTIC.
I must be honest. I saw a clip of Hilary Summers singing this aria. And when I first saw the choir stand up after she was done, I thought that was their way of saying, "Yes honey. You better sing."
That would be 'hunny'😄
What an extension !
Un bass para la historia.
Exelente version.Diria que de las mejores.Felicitaciones.Mension especial para la contraalto.
Wow!🎉
Hilary Summers: the Whopper Menu of operatic female singing
Hillary Summers’ technique is quite interesting. It sounds like she is singing all her notes in falsetto.
Bloody wonderful!
When we put this on many years ago this one was done by the Bass. Contralto or bass is equally impressive
There's also a soprano version.
I personally prefer the bass to sing the aria, as it fits with the recitative. And because I'm a bass and I love to sing both back to back :) but this contralto's voice is probably the most perfect voice I have ever heard for this aria.
golden voice
Really good contralto!It really looks like a counter tenor!:D
To Handel the "best of us" says Beethoven...
The Devil does not, in point of fact, have the best tunes.
Do you know, what she is doing now? I cannot find anything new from her :-( Her website is not updated since ca. 2 years, and it's so a pity, I would buy each and every recording of that art, it's the most beautiful performance of this aria I've ever heard. It would wish she makes recordings of all the famous oratorios :-) The Christmas Oratorio, the both Passions by Mr. Bach the Great, Eliah by Mendelssohn, etc. And some Bach Cantatas please. And thanks for the Petit Messe Solemnelle by Rossini, Hilary! I just want more :-) Much more
LadyKristo she was set to
Perform as the white queen in alices wonderland then covid came ... I love her so much !!!
Try now…… new site!
O MY LORD seraphim throws their selfs down from heaven in jealousy of her voice!!!!
worry not THE JEALOUS ANGEL WAS TOSSED...... NOW he roams about seeking the ruin of men s souls BUT ST. MICHAEL THE VOLUNTEER TOSSED HIM AND PROTECTS US WHEN WE ASK THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST...HIS PRIMORDIAL MASTER..... now ain't that the good news.!!!!
The best rendition of Handel's Messiah is by Trevor Pinnock. Once you come across it the rest seem messy.
Incredible performance. Just wish they did not cut out from the singer to the still shot for refiners fire.
Anyone also watching this in 2020 mid August? Would if Christ returns very soon? RU Ready?
who knew napoleon dinamite was in a church choir 😂
I do agree this is better sung by a contralto than a mezzo, but youve missed one thing which will trump a contralto, and which it was originally composed for - a countertenor!! Listen to james bowman or michael chance sing this, both are on TH-cam I think
Oh my goodness I love Michael Chance!
Connor P It was not written for a countertenor
I don't see the need to compare these. Just come to this version from Emma's and wow I love this too! In a DIFFERENT way! It is possible to love more than one interpretation/voice range perform this you know 🙄
...It was originally written for alto.
As beautiful as this music is, WE NEED TO HEED THOSE MOST POWERFUL, TERRIBLE, AND TRUTHFUL WORDS, Jesus Christ will be returning soon and who shall abide the day of His coming??
Malachi 3:1-6 kjv
1. Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.
2. But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:
3. And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.
4. Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in former years.
5. And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts.
6. For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
Is that fire for me🙄🙄 i was scared
My toxic trait is thinking I can sing like her
they´re countertenors
131th comment idk why, lets see and hear whatkindof musica is dis
what's different between alto and contralto?
Theo94kr The term “alto” refers simply to the range. However in choral music it is a part in its own right. Contralto is simply a term to describe a woman singing the alto range.
Pls give the name of the bassist
Habiendo contraltos magníficas como Hillary, es ridículo que se quiera seguir entregar estos roles a los llamados contratenores que cantan con falsete con voces antinaturales
seguir entregando
I prefer hearing this aria sung by a basso or baritone.
the s in his is a z, thats why you cant hear 's'. the other way to pronouse 's' i like say or such. it is not a vocalized consonant. although the orchestra sometimes matches her line, but in a couple of places she drops the s in refiner's' . who cares? she is so dynamic and musical and incredibly dramatic with that voice, to nitpick a couple of consonants? i agree, however, with you. if youre going to sing at this level, you better have you s/z vocalized and forward in the mask. in my opinion. x
Not impressed by the guy, but she has an unforgettable voice
Alastair Miles is good I think. What's not to like about him?
