Haendel is the master of using every instrument at his disposal to create a magical effect, an embroidery of sound and human voice, tempo and material to illuminate us the listener. For this reason, the Saxon was famous in his time and deservedly occupies his place in Westminster Abbey, in the musical archives of the world and in our hearts, memories, and sentiments.
00:00 Sonata: Andante - Allegro 04:04 Let God arise 07:05 Like as the smoke vanisheth 10:16 Let the righteous be glad 13:23 O sing unto God 17:14 Praised be the Lord 18:40 And thy rebuke, O God 20:50 Blessed be God
If you're listening to this lovely version, wondering if there is a Jesus- He is real. He is complete, tender love and He wants to know you. Look for Him and you'll easily find Him.
It's wonderful. That said The balance would be better with fewer strings. Please forgive me. It's such a small choir. When we went to 2 violins, viola and cello the choir was accompanied, not covered.. I'm sure it was written with a bass, but we did without and the whole was lighter. I don't know what our cellist played but it sounded just right.
Too late to change it now, but the sound engineering is terrible; an insult to the singers. Should have had them come forward to the front of the stage. Nice performance.
Perfectly rendered

Thanks for this, so helpful for listening to particular tracks.
All the Chandos Anthem should be brought to light. For me they have the same level as BWV 232
O how I love the violin I wish to one day play
Good piece

very good performance, thanks for uploading
Great upload indeed. Lost track of it, found it again, nice!
It sounds OK to my ears,especially when miking in an open space. I could even hear the recorder clearly .
SURE

Which HWV-number is this?
256
Absolutely under articulated version. How about some excitement !!!
Huh??? WTF are you talking about???

The performances at the time were often ramshackle and out of key. Let us be content with what we have today ?
Seriously???
La prise de son est affreuse et ne rend pas hommage aux pauvres choristes perdus au fin fond de la salle . Dommage ça avait l’air bien comme concert !
