Handel's Messiah is by far my favorite musical piece. I listen to it all year long. Since the pandemic, there has been a reduction of opportunities to hear it in person. I'm grateful for the ability to hear it online. My sister is also a committed member of Trinity Church.
12:00 pm 12/23/24 Such a profound performance! The soloists were inspirational as they seemed to put their whole heart and soul into the music. There was only one person in the choir who made sure she stood out from the rest. How unfortunate to have one person's pride try to spoil it for the rest. However, what a joy and blessing it has been to experience this profound event. I must not forget the conductor. He was magnificent!! I shall definitely watch this again tomorrow. May God bless you all, especially in all you do for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
"A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief..." this expression of the Messiah is the most human and heartfelt performance of this music through voice and instrument that I have ever heard. This is extraordinary. Thank you.
Greetings from Dublin, Ireland, the city lucky enough to hear the premiere performance of Messiah in 1742, conducted by maestro Handel himself. I have been listening to performances of this iconic baroque masterpiece for 50 years and have rarely been so moved as I was by this one. Many aspects combine to make this performance, in my humble opinion, outstanding. The ensemble size seems ideal, the tempi and phrasing are lively and clear, and the soloists’ diction and tone a perfect balance to enunciate this profound story, without being overly ornate. Technical details aside, there is something about the spirit of this performance as a whole that makes it very special. Congratulations, and thanks for sharing.
Of all performances of Handel's Messiah I have heard in my entire life, this is by far the most exquisitely performed rendition. The absolutely artistry of the many and various soloists introducing the novel idea beyond the customary four soloists added a unique freshness to this performance.
Christmas blessings from Sydney, Australia. Thank you for such a wonderful concert - perfect in a church setting with a smaller talented choir. The finales Worthy and The Amen are when you fully appreciate the depth of this choir and orchestra under the leadership of an excellent conductor. A memorable concert!
Thank you so much!! A gift to the world. As long as this music is performed “Civilization” still exists. (Which is more than can be said of some of the commenters. But that’s Ny.) God bless you!
I was enthralled by this performance. I particularly appreciated the countertenor who started at 1:05. Who is he? I appreciated that the soloists did not bury their faces in their scores, but looked up and conveyed the meaning behind the words they were singing. The chorus was impressive with its lightness and unity. Bravo to all, especially the excellent conductor.
Hi Michael Bird! I chose this at random to listen to! So excited to hear your voice! I have loved The Messiah since performing it in high school many years ago!
Because there are so many, we went ahead and linked to the program above, where they are listed by each aria. You can also find it here, ow.ly/oQWJ50M4B6E
Steller performance. So glad I could hear it, because this is one of the annual events I attended when I was a student at Manhattan School of Music back in the 70's. The down beat and opening sounds of this piece always get my eyes watery. Bach does the same thing. It's an artistic past life thing I guess. It's a wonder that I was ever able to sing as soloist when I performed this and other baroque works.
A valiant effort, distinguished with very good singing from the chorus, and excellent playing from the orchestra. Unfortunately, most of the soloists ranged from decent (Mr. Mello) down to very subpar... with the surprising and welcome exception of Ms. Abedi and her performance of "How Beautiful are the Feet"... really beautiful and expressive singing! Brava!
What a fine gift you have given us non New Yorkers. Thank you! But to the soprano who had much of it memorized, you were noticed. Bravo. But as a fellow chorister I found your bravado overly pompous.
I agree. If one sings in a group, one should do as the group does. Very distracting to have one chorister showing off that she doesn't need the music. Fine, don't use it, but at least hold the folder and fake it. "Look at me! Look at me!"
@@MissGimpsAlot Everyone is entitled to their own opinion... some are just better informed than others. For myself, I would say her opinion is very accurate regarding the soloists... not so much for the chorus itself, or the orchestra.
@@AravisTNN Hello. Sure... always happy to talk about Handel (even though I'm more of a Verdi guy, professionally!) What specifically about this performance are you interested in more details on? Also, are you a singer too?

Very long winded pompous reply

Joyful! You have encouraged our hearts and built our faith. May Jesus Christ be forever praised!! -Romans 15:13
Glorious performance by a wonderful small and elite group of talented musicians.

One of the Best choir ever !!!
Hallelujah! Christ is here. Welcome, Lord.
Thank you for your generosity in sharing this video with the world!
하나님을 찬양하는 일은 언제나 즐겁습니다 우리에게 이런 큰 기쁨을 주신 하나님께 감사드립니다 ♥
"He shall bring peace" and her voice almost makes me believe it would be possible.
Bravo!! The very best performance. Excellent. I loved it. Thank you.
Thank you Sir at 36min. The people that walketh....I really like your delivery
stupenda esecuzione bravissimi complimenti
Thank you Sir at 1h25, tenor aria. This is most exquisite!
Yes, yes: technique, musicianship; engaging engagement.
Thank you so much!! A gift to the world. As long as this music is performed “Civilization” still exists. (Which is more than can be said of some of the commenters. But that’s Ny.) God bless you!
43:33. Thank you Ma'am, for great diction...Beautiful singing and expression.

Gonna tell you, the yoke ain't easy. On a different note, this performance shows that smaller chorus can be VERY powerful.
I love the use of different soloists! A lovely performance!
1:40:00 - 1:42:30 is the best vocal rendition of that piece ive yet heard. Her voice is divine here.
Praise God! Such a beautiful work and fine performance! Every word is from the Holy Bible. The words speak for themselves.
MAGNIFICENT PERFORMANCE.
Phenomenal bass choir ... I enjoyed the multiple soloist program ... Thank You Trinity !
Wspaniałe wykonanie 😮

Beautiful! Yes… the Prince of Peace still reigns among life’s challenges.
That grabs you. It would be nice if the names of the soloists were mentioned. Thanks for the video.

Merry Christmas too you ❄️⛄🙏
superb! bravísimo...
I like the antiphonal trumpets bravo!
Who is the tenor at 1hr 25? Anyone?
I'd like to follow his other vids. Thank you for your help in advance!😌
Scott Mello

Joe Chappel doing the nations furiously rage bass solo is absolutely tremendous. Well done all around, but that solo, holy crap.
Wish I had Messiah vedios😢
Bravo,bravoooo…
I don’t know if it’s just me but where is the rest? I was really enjoying that! And it just kind of cut off in the middle!
Who is the ORGANIST? Who is the Organist? Crescendo!!!!
Tout est beau, mais vraiment beau, à part la trompette où une bulle interfère tragiquement...
beautiful performance! the sound level tho: not crankable...
Fuckin have it for all I care, GOD dammit!!!!!!!!
What a fine gift you have given us non New Yorkers. Thank you! But to the soprano who had much of it memorized, you were noticed. Bravo. But as a fellow chorister I found your bravado overly pompous.
Sir, perhaps, what you call bravado is merely a manifestation of the great joy she feels to sing such inspired music.
I agree. If one sings in a group, one should do as the group does. Very distracting to have one chorister showing off that she doesn't need the music. Fine, don't use it, but at least hold the folder and fake it. "Look at me! Look at me!"
Sam Stover, maybe that soprano forgot her book for the first part, because she has it in the second part.
Pretty weak and average performance. Bitterly disappointing
You're entitled to your wrong opinion.
