Handel’s Theodora appears to be making something of a comeback with more and more recordings over the past few years. These two artists are magnificent and ideally suited to the work.
Even Händel couldn't ask for more ! It's fine, subtle, intelligent, beautiful, without being mannered, without looking for any catchy effect. The art embodied in these incomparable voices and instrumentalists. Thank you for this sublime moment.
Depuis que j ai découvert cette immense artiste et cet immense orchestre je n ai plus de mots pour dire le plaisir que j ai à les entendre , je dirai seulement ”merci” pour toute la beauté dont vous nous grat😊ifiez dans ce monde d horreur🙏🙏
Glorious. Lea Desandre has great English enunciation on top of her colossal musical talent. Iestyn Davies is glorious as ever. What a wonder - the whole ensemble!!!
To thee, thou glorious son of worth, Be life and safety giv'n. To thee, whose virtues suit thy birth, Be every blessing giv'n. I hope again to meet on earth, But sure shall meet in Heav'n
Je cherche les bons mots, je n'y parviens pas, tellement je les trouve insuffisants pour montrer ce mélange d'admiration et d'émotion que ce duo m'apporte. Merci
I’ve admired Lea for a few years now and it’s such a joy to see her getting the attention she deserves! What a gorgeous lyrical voice - and not to ignore the heavenly Iestyn. An amazing collab
The world is in such a mess at the moment. Listening to Monteverdi is soothing to the soul. Remarkable and delicate interpretation of this Theodora with these 2 divine voices and the dazzling Arts Florissants.
Voilà plusieurs années que les moments où j'ai l'impression de vivre VRAIMENT, de retrouver toute la puissance des émotions de mon enfance, c'est grâce à la beauté à laquelle vous donnez tout votre art et votre énergie. J'ai commencé à vraiment écouter de la musique à trois ans, à y comprendre quelque chose du jour où j'ai fréquenté "ceux de la fac de musico", il y a... trente années. Vous nous donnez accès à une intensité impensable parce qu'incarnée : technique, collective, charnelle, patiente, acharnée, spirituelle, éminemment musicale... : un contact avec l'intensité et le sublime, qui tient en en quelques notes trouvées : justes, patiemment cherchées, pudiques et nues à la fois... Les dernières secondes où l'on voit Thomas Dunford, encore à la tâche, approuver d'un regard ce qui vient d'être enregistré, sont magnifiques. Merci. Avec mes proches, avec les enfants dont je m'occupe, avec les voisins qui n'ont pas le choix... je retrouve dans tout ce que vous faites une écoute toute neuve, un désir permanent de nous dédier à tout ce que nous avons de meilleur. Du fond du coeur et de l'âme, merci - de la part d'un qui, un jour, a abandonné le piano et l'a regretté toute sa vie désormais bien entamée... Je sais pouvoir compter sur vous et vous suis avec... (osons le dire) amour !
Upvote the lyrics so that more people can see it Theodora: To thee, thou glorious son of worth, be life and safety giv'n. Didymus: To thee, whose virtues suit thy birth, be every blessing giv'n. Both: I hope again to meet on earth, but sure shall meet in Heav'n.
Magnificent. Absolutely glorious. This is a global rockstar early-music dream team at all layers from the vocals, the musicians, and (ironically) the modern sound editing.
Duet Theodora, Didymus Theodora To thee, thou glorious son of worth, Be life and safety giv'n. Didymus To thee, whose virtues suit thy birth, Be every blessing giv'n. Both I hope again to meet on earth, But sure shall meet in Heav'n.
Magnificent performance of a lovely aria in what is, in my opinion, Handel's finest oratorio. Worthy to set beside that of Dawn Upshaw and David Daniels.
Agreed it equals that legendary performance ... at least Lea and Iestyn don't have to contend with all the awkward positioning and 'business' of live opera! These two and Sabine Deveilhe, amongst other incredible young musicians, make me confident classical music currently is in the best of hands ...
@@melcadman I agree entirely. I have been a listener since the 1940s when all we had was an FM radio and a Victrola. Now, modern technology has enabled us to hear virtually anything we have time for, from TH-cam and other universal media! OH! What I have been missing!
This hits hard, love these 2(and the whole ensemble) Another great version to check out is the classic Maureen Forrester/Heather Harper recording..which is just hauntingly beautiful

Not only the two singers, also the musicians are artists and play so wonderful!

Oh my. Here I am again. And again. Truly a masterpiece that endures.

Lovely performance, everyone! It is very inspiring to see so many young people involved in the performance of Baroque music.
¡Sublime interpretación, y exquisita sensibilidad! Handel estaría feliz si hubiera podido disfrutarla
May I just live in such exquisite music making? Every single element is perfect.
Ravishing … vengono i brividi 💓

Je n'aurais pas trouvé les mots si justes et si naturels pour dire la même que vous. Merci
merci pour ce moment d'exquise beauté et harmonie, ces deux voix se fondent si parfaitement !
Divin ❤. Quels magnifiques artistes
Lea moves as gracefully as she sings, no surprise to learn she studied ballet for 12 years.
What a masterpiece… Magnificent , with Tempo Giusto this music conveys the astral sound of the 9 octave . ❤❤❤
신께서 인간을 무한 사랑하셔서 …
이리도 아름다운 천재들을 우리에게 선물로 보내주시다니~~~
감사해요 모두모두~~👏👏👏👏

Magnificent. Absolutely glorious. This is a global rockstar early-music dream team at all layers from the vocals, the musicians, and (ironically) the modern sound editing.
Handel as it should be - flamboyant, excessive, and fabulous - like rock stars of the Baroque period
Un’esecuzione raffinatissima! Stupenda!
Sublime comme toujours , je suis amoureux de la beauté de cette voix , elle est unique , merci pour ce rêve chaque instant de ma vie .....🌹🌹
Omg that was beautiful.
I keep coming back to listen to it. Repeatedly
Traumhaft, möchte Ihre Stimme zum Musikalischen Entspannung in mein Herz ❤️ aufnehmen. Händel wäre glücklich Sie persönlich zu hören. LG. Klaus ✝️☀️🌻🙏
Divine!!! ❤ grateful to wake up to this gorgeous piece of music 🌺🌞
It seems as if the music would just flow through Lea Desandre. Mesmerizing!
I could listen to Lea all day and the evening too×
Nádhera, děkuji . Jarmila Praha CZ

speechless♥♥♥
Wunderbar!
Quelle soprano !
This hits hard, love these 2(and the whole ensemble) Another great version to check out is the classic Maureen Forrester/Heather Harper recording..which is just hauntingly beautiful
Exquisite.
I am a big fan of Emma Kirkby and Mori Maki, and this heavenly recording with Lea Desandre really belongs at the top as well.
Since their registers is practically identical, this is an interesting study in the other ways that the male and female voice are different.
Well it's like asoprano and a mezzo except it's male alto . It's a lower but overlapping register
Divine.
I enjoyed that :-)
Великолепно
Emotion
какой-то космос! нет слов...
