J'ai écouté cette musique dans mon enfance grâce à mes soeurs..et ma mère mais pas avec autant d'intensité que celle--ci dont l'interprétation est ABSOLUE !. Je suis chrétien et quand j'écoute cette musique j'ai vraiment le sentiment que le ciel est sur la terre... ou bien que la terre est montée vers le ciel. La richesse la diversité la quantité et l'expression de toutes ces notes voies et instruments : un concentré d'une densité EXTREME. Quel plaisir ont ils eu à jouer ce Dixit Dominus de Haendel dans cette magnifique église baroque: combien j'aurai aimé être là. BRAVO J E GARDINER ET LES SOLOISTS🙂
It's not only the beauty of the music and the enthutiastic rendering by Maestro Gardiner and his Monteverdi choir, but unlike too many groups these days, they are a pleasure to look at, clean, refined, poised, as in: "civilized'. What a joy to the eye and ear!
Gardiner and the Monteverdi and Baroque soloists! Just stunning. To think Handel was only 22 when he wrote this. It,s amazing to sing it. A new revelation in every section. Such attack, accuracy and vigour here. Thank you all.
I have loved Handel’s Dixit Dominus since first hearing it in Winchester Cathedral in 1986, and have heard many different performances of it since then, but not ever anything like this! The intensity, sheer beauty and perfection are almost beyond belief. Sir John Eliot Gardiner, orchestra, soloists, choir - one cannot begin to imagine the work that must have gone into making this come to life in such a perfect and beautiful form. Thank you with all my heart.
Oudtshoornify, your words in review capture the essence of this unique performance. I could not agree with you more! Thanks for articulating what others beyond ourselves must feel though the experience. DJ in Knoxville TN
No, I have not heard that performance. You can not not appreciate any performance which is conducted by JEG's baton. His performances are consistently of the highest standard, and that is what he expects of each singer and instrumentalist. The whole experience is one of delight to the spirit.
0:00 Dixit Dominus Domino meo 5:46 Virgam virtutis tuae emittet Dominus ex Sion 8:47 Tecum principium in die virtutis 11:51 Juravit Dominus et non paenitebit eum 14:29 Tu es sacerdos in aeternum 15:58 Dominus a dextris tuis 19:02 Judicabit in nationibus 21:29 Conquassabit 22:59 De torrente in via bibet 27:16 Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto 35:52 De torrente in via bibet [encore]
Je ne connaissais pas le Dixit Dominus. Quelle révélation ! La direction de Gardiner galvanise les solistes vocaux les musiciens de l 'orchestre qui sont tous à l'unisson dans une communion, une joie une félicité incroyable . Gardiner est insurpassable dans ces répertoires baroques de Vivaldi , de Bach bien sûr et de Handel ,après avoir re-découvert Monteverdi. On deviendrait croyant en écoutant n'importe quelle oeuvre interprétée de cette façon si bouleversante et communicative !
C'est parce que l'homme à une espérance et croyance dans le divin que des cathédrales ont pu être construites, que la sixtine a été créée que des pyramides ont été élevées que des oeuvres comme celle ci sont nées. Mac Do, Samsung, dollar, Apple et consort appauvrissent nos âmes. Nous ne puisons notre force que dans le tout puissant...cosmique...élevons nos âmes, nous sommes trop faibles devant la mort et l'éternité, sinon à quoi bon la vie, si elle n'est pas faite d'amour et d'espérance face à la mort...
This work is Amazing. I can't imagine myself at 21 composing such a masterpiece. Handel was a genius from a young age. Very admirable, since his family was upper class and they did not want him to be a musician, but a lawyer... but he was born to be a musician, he traveled through Europe studying different musical styles, many times he helped the poor through his concerts and died with honors. Now we can all enjoy these wonderful works. Thanks Handel 🙌🏻
@@shannondelima3028 : What does”metal thing” mean, please? Your kind of “metal” did not exist in the Baroque era. And this composition is not a “thing.” Nor is it a “piece.”
The look of sublime satisfaction of Sir John and, the two soloists glancing and smiling at one another after the final “De torrente in via” - a priceless moment.
Could Heaven be any better than this?! No wonder Beethoven said that Handel was the father of us all! This must be right at the acme of Western Civilization. No other civ has come close to this, and the West itself seems now spent. What a marvelous, fabulous performance of this amazing opus! Mr. Gardiner seemed to have such an encouraging and collegial attitude. One that says 'we are all in this together,' rather than acting as if he wrote the music and is the master and is prying it out of the singers and musicians. This is such a treasure. Altissime grazie to all the performers in this momentous accomplishment.
I love how dramatic, harmonically complex, contrapuntal and exuberant this work is. Händel brought choral music to the top in 1706 as a young man of 21 years old. In my opinion, no one could have done it better than him.
@@lorebern6538 Vivaldi’s music was wonderful, always full of life, however he was not overall as fine as Handel. “G.F. Handel, the master of us all”. W.A. Mozart.
@@lorebern6538 The great thing about Handel is his musical genius He used the musical forms from the rest of Europe to make a voice that was all his own , vocal and instrumental which had never been heard before This performance is a wonderful example of how his music transcended all others except Bach.
Ridiculous to compare Vivaldi and Handel. Both of them are perfect in their own way, but it is like comparing apples and oranges. Completely different. Some of us happen to like one more than the other.

Видео, к которому хочется возвращаться. Шедевр Генделя, где присутствуют красота и сила - эстетическая и духовная. Солисты, хор, оркестр, объединенные великолепным дирижером, создают вместе с композитором полнозвучное, эффектное и очень человечное произведение. Автору спасибо за видео высшего уровня.
What an incredible performance. Gardiner takes Handel’ S music and these wonderful singers and musicians to a higher plane and also transports our musical appreciation and understanding. I sang this twenty years ago and wish I could do it again!
It is indeed incredible, Sally! By the way, I kindly recommend the appreciation of the work of a living classical composer dedicated mostly to sacred music: W. Ferdinand. I feel myself like a sort of non-official ambassador for his music - and, effectively, also one of his few supporters. He is very, very talented. You won't be disappointed. th-cam.com/users/WFerdinand
I know how you feel! I played in 2 high school orchestras and went to music camp in high school. I felt so engaged in what I was doing and loved practicing and playing with my school mates. Such a great experience!!!
I think this work is the hardest to sing ever...so much counterpoint, fugal choruses and high notes. I read that Handel was 22 when he composed it 😱.. a really young Genius!!!
Magistral ! Que de frissons d'émotion !!! Un grand merci à Sir John Eliot Gardiner, tous les chanteurs et musiciens, ainsi qu'à cet immortel Handel !!! Et merci à Cantus 5
John Elliot Gardiner You have brought this piece to new heights. I was transported to a place of sheer beauty. Words are pale in trying to convey the emotional pathos and energy you gave to your players/singers and what you yourself poured out.
i performed this with my university choir and it was one of the most amazing yet hardest musical experiences of my life. like this piece is so beautiful but so difficult to perform
Hervorragende Interpretation des Werkes. Mit Freude und Ausstrahlungskraft sind die vorwiegend jungen Sängerinnen und Sänger wie auch die Instrumentalistinnen und Instrumentalisten (auch die älteren Semester) angesteckt vom Dirigenten am Interpretieren. Man sieht den Spass den alle Beteiligten haben. Einfach fantastisch, ein Genuss - ein grosses MERCI.
I loved this piece from the first time I heard it as a young man, and insisted on conducting it with the Keele Bach Choir. This interpretation captures brilliantly the youthful exuberance and vitality of Handel's writing> Gardner brings much innovation to a performance which is both virtuosic and utterly committed. We are lucky indeed to have this performance for posterity.
Absolutely agree, John! By the way, I kindly recommend the appreciation of the work of a living classical composer dedicated mostly to sacred music: W. Ferdinand.

Yes I think it is indeed youthful exuberance! Like Handel is saying, "look what I can do!" When I first heard this work (and luckily it was this performance), I was stunned at its intensity, drama, and emotional range- it is a perfect example of the Baroque style at its most spectacular. I can never understand those who think Baroque music is just mathematical and mechanical. It must be thrilling (and hair-raising) to conduct, you are so fortunate!
Vous connaissez Zelenka ? Si vous adorez Haendel je pense vous allez aussi craquer sur la musique de Jan Dismas Zelenka ! C'est un compositeur tchèque de la même période qu'on redécouvre et qui a composé essentiellement de la musique sacrée latine intégralement de ce genre-là (parfois même en plus "folle") : th-cam.com/video/KFWAzNg5WmQ/w-d-xo.html
Agreed, Trish! By the way, I kindly recommend the appreciation of the work of a living classical composer dedicated mostly to sacred music: W. Ferdinand.

Il a aussi un livre remarkable sur Jean Sebastian Bach. Saisit pas si c'est en Francais mais il est vraiment un grand de le genre. Music from the Kingdom of Heaven ou quelquechose
Mai aussi. Je passais par ici en cherchant autre chose, et je n'ai pas pu m'empêcher d'écouter jusqu'à la fin. Je connais cette œuvre depuis longtemps, et j'ai le malheur de comprendre les paroles latines qui traduisent pour moi toute la brutalité que le fanatisme religieux peut inspirer : le dieu vengeur « implebit ruinas, conquassabit capita in terra multorum », il mettra des ruines dans tout le pays des ennemis, il écrabouillera (conquassabit) leurs crânes partout. Les paroles sont dégoûtantes. Mais ici j'ai été fasciné par la "dulcedo cantuum", la suavité de la musique, et j'ai oublié la brutalité du texte. Contrairement aux commentaires qu'on lit souvent sur TH-cam, j'ai l'impression que les compositeurs de musique religieuse doivent souvent transcender les textes qu'on leur fait mettre en musique...
Yes! I feel the same way about the finale! Particularly the way Handel sustains and spins out the fugue to what feels like an unprecedented length is thrilling. Even the subject of the fugue gets your blood racing as its rhythm on those first repeated notes accelerates, as though creating then concentrating the energy to move forward. And ending firmly in the minor enhances the drama of the entire work. You sense he was showing off his skills in a feat of virtuosity. A master at twenty-one! And it already "sounds like Handel". I want it never to end...
I just performed this piece and I know why lol. It’s pretty difficult and at 440 (modern tuning) very high for the soprano section at least HOLY TOLEDO 🥴 After my initial discomfort with the thing though, it was A LOT OF FUN!!!
TH-cam continues to be a treasure trove of works and performances. I discover this performance this morning and I am transfixed. A completely enthralling work by conductor, choir, orchestra and soloists. In an incomparable setting. Just simply beautiful. Thank you all - thank you. 🙏🏻
@@davidedwards1885 Without needing to be a Latin scholar, this is the Latin for the 3rd word in the English translation of Psalm 110, which begins "The LORD said unto my Lord, come sit at my right hand..." In the Latin text, it begins with the verb.
I had never heard Dixit Dominus before last month. It's a wonder like I've never heard. Now I need my daily dose... I love each of the choir and orchestra members. I admire J. E. Gardiner, I'm very moved to see the way he conducts the singers and the musicians. Thanks a lot Cantus 5 for posting. Merci beaucoup :-)
This is a gorgeous performance. My choir was scheduled to perform this on March 15, 2020, and we cancelled the concert two days prior because of Covid. It's wonderful to listen to it now and pretend it hasn't been a year since I've been able to sing with my choir.
I hope you guys get to perform!! I have great admiration for people who have developed musical skills to the point of performing in symphonies. My terminology might be off, but I just love baroque music.
@@mynamewhatis7254 Thanks! The plan is that whenever it's safe to do so (hopefully soon) we'll perform the exact concert we would have last March. I cannot wait.
He went to Italy at age 22 to show the Italians that he can compose in their style with this one. I don't think there was any doubt afterwards about his abilities thereafter.
@@opus4rv Handel learned it all from the Italians. Do you know of Italians going to Germany to learn music? Haendel is a second-hand product. Leo Depuydt (Brown University)
@@leodepuydt308 I don't think it is right to say that händel is a second hand product. Yes, he used the Italian style and not the German, but he did it brilliantly (I don't refer ro some copies from other's), and he also used some German themes in some of his works.
@@leodepuydt308 Maybe your description is a little rough and impolite to Haendel, but indeed Italy still was the cultural capital of the world at the time and their truths the most recognized. Even in our days, the names of the notes, the tempo indications and other elements in music, are Italian or latin.
Che meraviglia il giovane Handel "italiano"! Che suono cristallino e trasparente, a volte delicato, a volte energico e dinamico. E gli splendidi cori anticipano in tutto i grandi oratori della maturità. Esecuzione magnifica!
Agreed, Arnold! By the way, I kindly recommend the appreciation of the work of a living classical composer dedicated mostly to sacred music: W. Ferdinand. I feel myself like a sort of non-official ambassador for his music - and, effectively, also one of his few supporters. He is very, very talented.

Давно люблю эту музыку. Рада, что у вас есть это видео. Современная, качественная запись. Современное концертное исполнение, удобное для восприятия. Спасибо за удовольствие!
The energy and sheer joy of the lead singers that was wholly shared and supported by the entire choir was electric and the sparkling performance of the entire orchestra, all combined here to make a magical musical moment for everyone present. It remains great for us now to hear, but must have been incredible for those privileged to witness. All thanks to John Elliot Gardiner
Meraviglioso Handel.❤ Sir Gardiner eccezionale direzione all'unisono con i bravissimi ragazzi del coro e dell'orchestra. Grazie per questa musica Divina.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The wonder of these orchestral and choral ensembles founded and directed by the great maestro Gardiner and Handel's beautiful sacred composition of the Dixit Dominus
je ne me suis jamais lassé de ce Psaume du dimanche soir mis en musique par Joseph H. C'est pour moi l'une des plus belles perles du Baroque, un don du Ciel fait aux hommes en Europe. C'est la quintessence de la culture européenne. Vraiment.
Outstanding music composed by one great compositor. The Handel music has an harmony surpassing. The voices are superb and the orchestration fantastic. The interpretation is very sensitive coming from the bottom of the soul of those who sing like that. Congratulations to the Monteverdi choir and English Soloists you are honestly amazing.
F A N TA S T I C !! Sir John Eliot Gardiner is just a magnificent, inspiring and demanding Maestro. As a result GF Handel's musical jewel is polished and delivered to the audience in a superb interpretation The staccatos would please even the composer himself. "Said the Lord / Dixit Dominus" Just Awesome!
Our choir were due to sing this wonderful yet challenging composition this evening but due to the Coronavirus and Govt lockdown our performance like so many public events has been Postponed...we are determined however to" master" it and present it to our local community...this wonderful recording has helped me at least in keeping in touch with the music whilst we isolate.
The Rotterdam Philharmonic teamed up with a Dutch healthcare provider to film the finale of Beethoven’s 9th with all the musicians playing their parts by video from their homes.
J'écoute cette oeuvre pour la première fois. L'émotion est là, immédiate. Magnifique, pureté, un petit moment de bonheur. Mariage parfait des voix, des chœurs et des instruments. Merci
One composer I admire Gardiner for is Handel. He understands the beauty of Handel's music which, in the main, relies on the force and vigor of details. He does not try to smooth them out in a refined bland manner as some H.I. P. performances.
This has to be the very best, liveliest, most interesting recording of Dixit Dominus I have heard. Forget any negative thoughts you have in one of those movements, enjoy the fun the musicians are actually having. Fantastic! InSPIRITional!
Big challenge to me... Listening to this astonishing masterpiece and not crying. There you go... Big man weeping like a baby. It just turns everyone into sugar.
The more I listen to this performance, the more I admire it. It is absolutely stunning.
I fully agree
My childrens, they have this virus also....we can't stop listening, my neighbor knocked at the door to slow down the volume of this song...
this is a masterpiece of humankind, please keep Dixit Dominus alive for the next 2923901 generations.
🥰😍
Longer!
If humanity dies and this survives, it will have justified our poor existence.

What an incredible performance. Gardiner takes Handel’ S music and these wonderful singers and musicians to a higher plane and also transports our musical appreciation and understanding. I sang this twenty years ago and wish I could do it again!
It is indeed incredible, Sally! By the way, I kindly recommend the appreciation of the work of a living classical composer dedicated mostly to sacred music: W. Ferdinand.

Потрясающая музыка, великолепное пение, а дирижер просто уникум.
I think this work is the hardest to sing ever...so much counterpoint, fugal choruses and high notes. I read that Handel was 22 when he composed it 😱.. a really young Genius!!!
At that age, he just did not know what was impossible to achieve :-)
Die Fugen und der Kontrapunkt machen es nicht schwerer, sondern einfacher, die Musik zu singen. Es ist bei aller Emotionalität logisch aufgebaut.
You are correct. I am performing it tonight, and it is the only piece I had to actually practice outside the weekly rehearsals!
It's a bear to sing!

C'est un compositeur tchèque de la même période qu'on redécouvre et qui a composé essentiellement de la musique sacrée latine intégralement de ce genre-là (parfois même en plus "folle") : th-cam.com/video/KFWAzNg5WmQ/w-d-xo.html
Fantastic , my deepest compliments to all the musicians ,the singers, the vocals and the director ! Astonishing good ! Thank you. 🌹🌹🌹
Astonishingly good, we’ll said.
It makes me happy that this audience loves and appreciates classical music so much!
Me too
incredible piece and performance. I have see it at least 50 times and every single time, when I get to the Torrente in via bibet I cry!!!
Je viens de découvrir hier matin a écouter des son lever pour vivre sa journée avec intensite😅
Mir geht es auch so, dieses schöne Stück berührt mei Herz und mir kommen die Tränen. Auch J. E. Gardiner schaut sehr gefühlvoll.
As I do in the penultimate movement of the Bach "St. Matthew Passion!"
Perfect, spine tingling. A performance for the ages. It may never be bettered. Oh to have been able to sing like this!
I'm just addicted to this interpretation
Me too

I AM addicted too to this choral Interpretation
Una obra magistral del maestro George Frederic HANDELL
me too. Its a gem I'm very happy to have found.
Браво! Блестяще! Полный восторг!
A wee smile from Maestro to the choir, and you would do anything he asks. Isn't he just the best?! 💖🎶🎵
Agreed, Trish! By the way, I kindly recommend the appreciation of the work of a living classical composer dedicated mostly to sacred music: W. Ferdinand. I feel myself like a sort of non-official ambassador for his music - and, effectively, also one of his few supporters. He is very, very talented. You won't be disappointed. th-cam.com/users/WFerdinand
Plus je l’écoute et le regarde plus je trouve ce GARDINER et son ensemble chanteurs et musiciens exceptionnelles de beauté et de tempo. Bravissimo
Il a aussi un livre remarkable sur Jean Sebastian Bach. Saisit pas si c'est en Francais mais il est vraiment un grand de le genre. Music from the Kingdom of Heaven ou quelquechose
"Musique au château du ciel"
Effectivement très beau livre qui a bien été traduit en français.

Mai aussi. Je passais par ici en cherchant autre chose, et je n'ai pas pu m'empêcher d'écouter jusqu'à la fin. Je connais cette œuvre depuis longtemps, et j'ai le malheur de comprendre les paroles latines qui traduisent pour moi toute la brutalité que le fanatisme religieux peut inspirer : le dieu vengeur « implebit ruinas, conquassabit capita in terra multorum », il mettra des ruines dans tout le pays des ennemis, il écrabouillera (conquassabit) leurs crânes partout. Les paroles sont dégoûtantes. Mais ici j'ai été fasciné par la "dulcedo cantuum", la suavité de la musique, et j'ai oublié la brutalité du texte. Contrairement aux commentaires qu'on lit souvent sur TH-cam, j'ai l'impression que les compositeurs de musique religieuse doivent souvent transcender les textes qu'on leur fait mettre en musique...
The final Gloria and "Et in secula seculorum" fugue leave me speechless! BRAVO!
Yes! I feel the same way about the finale! Particularly the way Handel sustains and spins out the fugue to what feels like an unprecedented length is thrilling. Even the subject of the fugue gets your blood racing as its rhythm on those first repeated notes accelerates, as though creating then concentrating the energy to move forward. And ending firmly in the minor enhances the drama of the entire work. You sense he was showing off his skills in a feat of virtuosity. A master at twenty-one! And it already "sounds like Handel". I want it never to end...
Agreed! Thank you GFH for not ending on a Picardy third!
Sir John Eliot Gardiner is amazing!!!
HE IS A TRUE GENIUS
Agreed!

The golden standard… good luck to everyone trying to surpass this, although maybe I will one day! 😊
Beautiful. I am always a fan of Baroque. But some compositions speak louder than others, and this is one of them.
I hear this far too rarely for no apparent reason. It is delightful, and full of spirit. I love it
It's extremely difficult for the chorus.
Hmm
I just performed this piece and I know why lol. It’s pretty difficult and at 440 (modern tuning) very high for the soprano section at least HOLY TOLEDO 🥴 After my initial discomfort with the thing though, it was A LOT OF FUN!!!
Espectacular obra de Handel, Excelente dirección de Gardiner, bella ejecución musical y vocal, Solo a Dios sea la Gloria, Poder y Honor!!
conductor, choir, and instruments doing an excellent job on this very difficult piece!!
Yes
Best rendition I’ve heard.
De torrente at 23 min is ethereal! The sopranos blend beautifully!
Indeed!
With ensemble vocal de Lausanne, de torrente est encore plus beau, à mon humble avis
Superb music beautifully performed by chorus and soloists. Brings real meaning to the words of truth.
TH-cam continues to be a treasure trove of works and performances. I discover this performance this morning and I am transfixed. A completely enthralling work by conductor, choir, orchestra and soloists. In an incomparable setting. Just simply beautiful. Thank you all - thank you. 🙏🏻
What does Dixit mean?
@@davidedwards1885 Without needing to be a Latin scholar, this is the Latin for the 3rd word in the English translation of Psalm 110, which begins "The LORD said unto my Lord, come sit at my right hand..." In the Latin text, it begins with the verb.
It‘s long ago that i have seen this airline logo „British Overseas Airways Corporation“.
"Go change your Huggie, boy, and stop that cryin'"
Ditto all the above! (My intro to the work.) BRAVI !!
eu amo essa obra de Handel, é uma das minhas obras sacras prediletas
Ela é esplêndida.
Estou cantando hoje à noite!
one of the best performance ever, just love it
I turned this on knowing it was choral music and I thought I’d last 3 minutes. I couldn’t turn it off! Absolutely beautiful!!
Ditto.
Yup, Handel does that to you, particularly when performed to this standard.
I had never heard Dixit Dominus before last month. It's a wonder like I've never heard. Now I need my daily dose... I love each of the choir and orchestra members. I admire J. E. Gardiner, I'm very moved to see the way he conducts the singers and the musicians. Thanks a lot Cantus 5 for posting. Merci beaucoup :-)
Perfect comment. Exact same feeling here! 👍
@@dalindgren x3
Amazing voices, an incredible conductor.
This is a gorgeous performance. My choir was scheduled to perform this on March 15, 2020, and we cancelled the concert two days prior because of Covid. It's wonderful to listen to it now and pretend it hasn't been a year since I've been able to sing with my choir.
I'm in the same boat. We were going to sing a concert as well of Canadian repertoire. We've been meeting on zoom but it's not the same thing.
I hope you guys get to perform!!
I have great admiration for people who have developed musical skills to the point of performing in symphonies.
My terminology might be off, but I just love baroque music.
@@mynamewhatis7254 Thanks! The plan is that whenever it's safe to do so (hopefully soon) we'll perform the exact concert we would have last March. I cannot wait.
Слушаю каждый день уже месяц это браво Маэстро!!!! Исполнение!!?
Je connaissais pas et c'est un pur bonheur ! Je pense je vais l'écouter mainte et mainte fois ! Un chef d'oeuvre !
The Text which is Sung here is read at church on the Day of Ascension of Christ, we have it today (Thursday, 18. of May 2023).
What an amazing moment !! The piece is marvelous, the choir and orchestra are perfect and what about the conductor! Brillant ✨
The Virgam Virtutis is one of my all time favourite Handel arias! It’s sublime
Beautiful rendition ; wonderful Handel !
Gardiner and his ensemble always fabulous.
Glorious praise for the One who gives Everlasting Life to all who simply believe in Him for it (John 3:16) .
Praise is indeed fitting .
Mr. Handel is surely beaming with joy from his Heavenly realm at this superb rendering of his music.
Very simple music compare to the complex works by Bach.
He went to Italy at age 22 to show the Italians that he can compose in their style with this one. I don't think there was any doubt afterwards about his abilities thereafter.
@@opus4rv Handel learned it all from the Italians. Do you know of Italians going to Germany to learn music? Haendel is a second-hand product. Leo Depuydt (Brown University)
@@leodepuydt308
I don't think it is right to say that händel is a second hand product. Yes, he used the Italian style and not the German, but he did it brilliantly (I don't refer ro some copies from other's), and he also used some German themes in some of his works.
@@leodepuydt308 Maybe your description is a little rough and impolite to Haendel, but indeed Italy still was the cultural capital of the world at the time and their truths the most recognized. Even in our days, the names of the notes, the tempo indications and other elements in music, are Italian or latin.
De ma vie je ne me lasserais jamais de cette oeuvre, découverte maintenant il y a 50 ans...JEG est extraordinaire...
Thru the singer’s and Gardiner’s facial expressions I get the feeling the relationship is intensely collaborative and full of mutual respect
Che meraviglia il giovane Handel "italiano"! Che suono cristallino e trasparente, a volte delicato, a volte energico e dinamico. E gli splendidi cori anticipano in tutto i grandi oratori della maturità. Esecuzione magnifica!
A superb performance. I love the enthusiasm and expressiveness of the conductor, the orchestra, and the choir, as well as the soloists.
Agreed, Arnold! By the way, I kindly recommend the appreciation of the work of a living classical composer dedicated mostly to sacred music: W. Ferdinand.

Herrliche Musik und wunderbare Stimmen, alles war perfekt .Bravo
It’s really beautiful
... the intensity, the speed - goose bumps
the dignity, the passion - hard on
It's really something.
I'm in love with this interpretation
Ah ouais
The energy and sheer joy of the lead singers that was wholly shared and supported by the entire choir was electric and the sparkling performance of the entire orchestra, all combined here to make a magical musical moment for everyone present. It remains great for us now to hear, but must have been incredible for those privileged to witness. All thanks to John Elliot Gardiner
A truly great performance thank you very much
Потрясающее исполнение! Очень редко услышишь на столько стилистически верное исполнение. Браво!
Прекрасный коллектив. Исполнение супер! Дирижёр выше всяких похвал.
Unbelievable musicality…simply beautiful ❤
Beautiful performance, with a perfect meld of voices in a spectacular setting. Handel is definitely a gift to us all.
He has given us the key, we must simply turn the (to) Handel
I agree. It is more than gift...
Divine and wonderful! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Meraviglioso Handel.❤ Sir Gardiner eccezionale direzione all'unisono con i bravissimi ragazzi del coro e dell'orchestra. Grazie per questa musica Divina.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The wonder of these orchestral and choral ensembles founded and directed by the great maestro Gardiner and Handel's beautiful sacred composition of the Dixit Dominus
Handel helps us understand why this passage was the Apostles’ favorite.
WOW, simply wow performance
je ne me suis jamais lassé de ce Psaume du dimanche soir mis en musique par Joseph H. C'est pour moi l'une des plus belles perles du Baroque, un don du Ciel fait aux hommes en Europe. C'est la quintessence de la culture européenne. Vraiment.
Absolument d'accord !
Est-ce que vous ne confondez pas Haydn et Handel ? L’œuvre que nous écoutons est de Georg Friedrich Haendel et non de Joseph Haydn :)
Magnificent!!! What a beautiful collection of voices.
Outstanding music composed by one great compositor. The Handel music has an harmony surpassing. The voices are superb and the orchestration fantastic. The interpretation is very sensitive coming from the bottom of the soul of those who sing like that. Congratulations to the Monteverdi choir and English Soloists you are honestly amazing.
F A N TA S T I C !! Sir John Eliot Gardiner is just a magnificent, inspiring and demanding Maestro. As a result GF Handel's musical jewel is polished and delivered to the audience in a superb interpretation The staccatos would please even the composer himself. "Said the Lord / Dixit Dominus" Just Awesome!
une façon de diriger qui lui est bien particulière et qui fait de lui un des plus grand chef d'orchestre , c'est ce que je ressens
Our choir were due to sing this wonderful yet challenging composition this evening but due to the Coronavirus and Govt lockdown our performance like so many public events has been Postponed...we are determined however to" master" it and present it to our local community...this wonderful recording has helped me at least in keeping in touch with the music whilst we isolate.
Best wishes to you and your choir Conor! I’m sure you will do well
The Rotterdam Philharmonic teamed up with a Dutch healthcare provider to film the finale of Beethoven’s 9th with all the musicians playing their parts by video from their homes.
Gardiner is definitely a name to follow as far as recordings of best of class vocal baroque
Such a beautiful piece. More than just music or background noise. Totally sublime.
J'écoute cette oeuvre pour la première fois. L'émotion est là, immédiate. Magnifique, pureté, un petit moment de bonheur. Mariage parfait des voix, des chœurs et des instruments. Merci
Ah ouais !?
pas étonnant, Cher Ami: votre patronyme parle pour vous!
I understood every word. Thankyou Gordon Mein and Mr Narracorte.
Daniel Hautemaniere regardez l’ensemble orlando de Suisse la meilleure version je pense. Bonne écoute!!
Joel Ardent
One composer I admire Gardiner for is Handel. He understands the beauty of Handel's music which, in the main, relies on the force and vigor of details. He does not try to smooth them out in a refined bland manner as some H.I. P. performances.
This has to be the very best, liveliest, most interesting recording of Dixit Dominus I have heard. Forget any negative thoughts you have in one of those movements, enjoy the fun the musicians are actually having. Fantastic! InSPIRITional!
Gardiner has Handel's like Allen Iverson
Their connection, maestro and chorus, is just amazing. They are full into it. Beautiful to see. A show inside the show.
Big challenge to me... Listening to this astonishing masterpiece and not crying. There you go... Big man weeping like a baby. It just turns everyone into sugar.
@@pedrosavaget that is cool to say that. I feel so grateful that I can ‘feel’ classical music as much as I can. It touches your spirit!
