- Which performance of Händel's "As steals the morn" do you prefer?
0:00 Rosa Mannion and John Mark Ainsley
6:31 Lucy Crowe and Mark Padmore
13:04 Kate Royal and Ian Bostridge
19:37 Sandrine Piau and Topi Lehtipuu - เพลง
Amanda Forsythe and Thomas Cooley are wonderful. They make it appear effortless.
I say Amanda Forsythe and Thomas Cooley + the wonderful ensemble of Voices of Music are better than anything out there or better than anything that will ever be out there.
I agree that they are very good, and overall the ensemble with the support of Voices of Music is probably the best, but their voices are not as well produced or controlled (especially Forsythe whose breathing and phrasing are not as good) as Sandrine Piau and Topi Lehtipuu.
Amanda Forsythe and Tomas Cooley.....🤗🤗
Yes a thousand times !
Yes a million times. Their recording is the Steinway of this aria.
Yes and another million. I’m so glad everyone thinks so!
My favorite is Amanda Forsythe and Thomas Cooley
Cooley and Forsythe as ll day long, they make me go back time and time again, others sound technical or precise, but Cooley and Forsythe give me love, beauty and joy
Agreed. Their performance is exquisite.
Pour moi Amandine Forsyte et Thomas Cooley
pour moi aussi
Lucy and Mark voices sound delightful and very moving to me.
Amanda Forsythe and Thomas Cooley, and Julia Vicente and Ariel Hernandez both do it best for me. This is on Mount Olympus of great music.
Mannion and Ainsley are the ones for me. So subtle, yet so perfect. Sublime. No need to strain their voices as almost all the other did, one moment or another. 💗👏👏👏
You left out Amanda Forsythe and Thomas Cooley.
The best rendition for me
Also for me

Absolutely, plus the instrumental playing is superb.
Truly beautiful
0:00 Rosa Mannion and John Mark Ainsley!!!👍
They need to be watched.
Crowe and Padmore have an ethereal/spiritual quality that, for me. sets them apart; also, the tonal qualities of their voices mesh beautifully. It is a distinguished musical collaboration, in my experience. I listen to it regularly and reserve very quiet moments to savour its intense, plaintive richness.
I was also moved by aspects of Royal's and Lehtipuu's renditions, but in snatches only.
It is very difficult to decide which is the best duet of this wonderful Händel aria, for me they are all played by virtuous in a masterful way. Thanks a lot
My favorite for the duet is Rosa Mannion and John Mark Ainsley, the more balanced duet, voices are acting without occlusion, I also enjoy the performance Mark Padmore did!
Undoubtedly Crowe and Padmore . Apart from the fact that their voices are wonderful , the tempo and their way of singing this, the greatest of Handel's duets , is perfection. It is dawn and needs to be gentle and not too fast just as they sing it . Wonderful.
Concur
One of my favourite duets! It sounds so sweet. Thank you!
For all-round musicianship, the Voices of Music - soaring soprano and tenor, but equally the soloists and orchestra. All four versions here are very beautiful, but to my ear, not as inspired as the Voices of Music with Forsythe and Cooley.
Agreed.
Amanda Forsyth and Thomas Cooley definitely...
Totally agree. I listen to this version every night. It is totally divine and definitely the best version.
Oh YES
Amanda and Thomas
This aria is so beautiful that I enjoyed all these performances but must admit that I fell in love with Amanda Forsyth's and Tom Cooley's rendition several years ago when I first heard this.
without a doubt Rosa Mannion and John Mark Ainsley!!!!
Todas son excelentes, pero la de Amanda Forsythe y Thomas Cooley de Voices of Music es excepcional.
I agree Amanda Forsyth is the best, the very best.
forsythe/cooley
Lynne Dawson and Ian Bostridge, superbe!
Lucy Crowe and Mark Padmore!!!!!! No words!!!! A beleza em estado de perfeição!!!
Beauty in a state of perfection!!!
Considering: all the pairs that are there are also spectacular.
I chose it because of the sympathy of the sound.
Ich finde alle vier Gesangspaare wundervoll. Tolle Stimmen und hervorragende Interpretation, danke. 👏👍❤️🌻
La de Crowe y Padmore es mi preferida, y en segundo lugar la de Mannion y Aisnley, pero todas sin excelentes versiones de este dueto intemporal.
Ainsley and Mannion. Ainsley in particular has an easy convincing manner.
ainsley is definitely particular to this rendition....
Боже!!! Как НЕЖНО поет первый Дуэт!😍😍😍
Royal&Bostridge…sublime…All very noteworthy,however R@B hands down ♥️🇨🇦
BRAVO !
What a difficult choice, but for me, 'tis Lucy Crowe and Mark Padmore - by a whisker1 Now, if we can have Padmore and Crowe ...? This Handel is so exquisite it makes me feel faint with the beauty of it.
Yes, it really does give one that sensation!
This music is not only heard, it is also felt!
tout ces versions sont superbes, pour moi c'est Rosa et John Mark à cause de l'harmonie entre ces deux.
Yes, they are amazing!
Tout a fait d accord mais ecoutez celui de Kwella et Davies par Gardiner. Extremement beau et emouvant.
Lucy Crowe and Mark Padmore for me .Too Much Vibrato here But I love Ainsley's voice.
Sandrine Piau and Topi Lehtipuu, yes. However, I quite like the interpretation by Lucy Crowe and Mark Padmore.
Exquisite...!! 🤩
Sandrine & Topi sound so lovely together, their version is my personal favorite for sure...
Crowe / Padmore ; Outstanding!
6:31 Lucy Crowe and Mark Padmore - are the best, by far ❤
besides, I have their joint performance in GFH - SAMSON ❤
Nowhere to found together, but my , solists for this Handels' masterpiece Nuria Rial and John Mark Ainsley
Mark Padmore off course!!!
Kate Royal & Ian Bostridge first 4me, but they're all v e r y good.
Kate and Ian
Lucy and Mark
best? in this case, the impossible question!
of the 4 recordings here Sandrine Piau and Topi Lehtipuu i think had the best voices, but Lucy Crowe and Mark Padmore had the best oboe and bassoon, BUT I agree with Martine Jaworski that the Voices of Music version is overall better
Todas las versiones son notables, pero me quedo con Lucy Crowe y Mark Padmore, que tienen una magia especial y no me canso de escuchar porque suena natural y sentida, nada forzada.
I think Mannion and Ainsley have the right approach to this music, which is simplicity and sincerity as well as rhythmic agility. I'm surprised I liked them best. I know the Royal/Bostridge recording and the Crowe/Padmore from repeated listeneings (I'm a big Handel fan), and they are both good. The Piau/Lehtipuu suffers in that her English vowels are a bit bizarre and her emphasizing then quickly fading on each note becomes distracting after a while. Lehtipuu has a beautiful voice, and I can't fault his English, but the voices don't meld. I have to mention here that the version I know best is the John Elliot Gardner recording from the 1980s. Patrizia Kwella and Maldwyn Davies are exceptional in this music, really singing as one.
and this one ? : th-cam.com/video/PVCtCxnJyKY/w-d-xo.html
Devemos reverenciar a composição de Haendel. Assim como o mestre Bach ele nos enche de boa música.😃😃😃😃😃
They are all fine artists. On balance I favour Crowe and Padmore.
6:31 Lucy Crowe and Mark Padmore - are the best, by far ❤
besides, I have their joint performance in GFH - SAMSON ❤
Primero quiero felicitarte por tu canal y el esfuerzo por mantenernos al día con las mejores voces de la actualidad y más.
Piau y Lehtipuu > Royal and Bostridge > Crowe y Padmore > Mannion y Ainsley.
Pero la interpretación que prefiero es la de Amanda Forsythe y Thomas Cooley

Mil gracias por tu comentario
🤗 Sandrine& Topi voice very very super super😍 grande Mather 60old
Amanda Forsyth & Thomas Cooley with Voices of Music, unsurpassable, Amanda's recent death is a great loss to music.
What a terrible piece of information. When did Amanda pass away? What happened?
@@mirjashochzeit my sincere apologies to you and all those who have visited this page. The death of Amanda Forsythe was not the soprano, but another Amanda Forsythe who came up on Google search, (who even looked similar). Again apologies particularly to Amanda if she reads these pages. It's still in my opinion, the most sublime version of this beautiful aria.
A truly fine version..
Devastated by the terrible news about Amanda Forsyth .
I too was shocked reading that sentence about Amanda .
Can you report it to youtube and ask them to delete this sentence .
Itaca Vicente & Ariel Hernandez
Of these recordings I have to choose Kate Royal and Ian Bostridge . All the artists are brilliant but for me Kate and Ian were the most sensitve.
Always difficult to make a firm decision! All artists concerned are exemplary and the direction and orchestral accompaniment is exemplary in all cases. It’s all down to personal taste….I do however have a preference for Kate Royal and Ian Bostridge. It seems to me that the aria needs a certain sense of detachment……Handel seems to saying a plangent, bittersweet goodbye to something. In this respect I stand by my choice. Thank you to “baroque and beyond” for making this interesting compilation!
My pleasure!
Kwella and Davies by Gardiner. My all time favorite!
how do you separate them the all have a finesse about them - if it cam to a choice I would go for Sandrine and Topi, his voice has an operatic dramatic quality - thanks for posting them.
Gillian Webster /Jeremy Ovenden... Festival de Beaune 2013. Best ever
Veramente difficile questa volta 🤔 però direi Lucy e Mark.
I have fallen for Lucy Crowe
She is a beautiful singer. One can hardly blame you.
Me too! She's originally from my home town.
I heard her in Glasgow years ago when she was beginning her career and fell in love as I have done with several sopranos overthe years.@@peterwildsmith1357
Crowe e Padmore
Ítaca Vicente and Ariel Hernández
Kwella/ Davies/ Gardiner !
Absolutely! My all time favorite!
There is is Mark and Lucy but the old record with Gardiner is better
Yes, the Gardner version is my favorite, maybe because I've listened to it so often!
@@erinmattme too! My father was a bass and would listen to this Handel with Kwella and Davies every Sunday morning. He died in 2017, i have hard time not to think about him every time i listen to this magnificent aria.
I would not know who's best ... Padmore maybe ?
what about a combination between Kate and Topi?
This performance beats them all! I love the mostly straight tone of the voices. Their blend and balance are perfect. The soprano has amazing dynamic control. And the recorder and nyckelharpa are a refreshing change from the oboe and bassoon. th-cam.com/video/EInJX7ltV_0/w-d-xo.html
There is a relaxed feel in the Crow - Padmore performance and Lucy has the best soprano voice of the four for the song. Padmore has a lovely true tenor without too much vibrato which suits the duet as well. They get it for me.
Also , apart from the wonderful voices which blend beautifully is the the TEMPO which is just a tad slower than the rest and so suited to the song and the fact that it is about dawn and should not in any way be rushed.

BRAVO !
