Bravo! A wonderful performance. The ensemble was excellent. Ms. Forsythe was the whole package. Her utter joy, the clarity, pitch, control and sweetness of her voice created a dynamic performance. Love hearing those R's rolled too.
Absolutely stunning. Totally in control of every tone and sung with intention. Beautiful clear voice and so expressive. I am in awe of everything AF sings. One of those rare Baroque performers that do not sound like a sewing machine gone wild.
19 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion, shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, thy King cometh unto thee; He is the righteous Saviour, and He shall speak peace unto the heathen
Not sure that this performance can be topped. Forsythe sings with a kind of electricity or verve that keeps her voice riding on top of the music. There's no hint of a lag in her coloratura or ornamentation. Why isn't someone recording her more - or Boston Baroque for that matter.
Ich habe diese Arie mit dem Countertenor Franco Fagioli gehört und fand die Aufnahme noch schöner. Auch wenn ich die Übersetzung nicht gleich verstanden habe, so habe ich sie vom Gesicht abgelesen. Franco Fagioli gehört zu den besten Countertenören und singt unzählige Barockarien. Auch in Barocken-Opernaufführungen zeigt er sich hervorragend.
Edit: It's on the website! Thanks!! Can we purchase this recording of the Messiah anywhere? Audio or video? I would love to be able to purchase a full !
Thanks, Andrew! For the entire month of December, you can watch it for FREE on our website: baroque.boston/live-handel-messiah After this month, it will be accessible on Amazon Prime, where it is free to stream with a Prime membership, or available to rent for a small fee.
For what this soprano is she is well schooled. She unlike sooooo many who sing with this group has good tensions ( yes they are needed) strong support and appoggia on the flow so it is. It is not some droopy lazy nonsense. She also plays with diction well thankfully . The aspirations on the coloratura are slight and could be cleaned up to be legato… but this is a very useful and rather beautiful instrument. The orchestra is tiny in sound to an annoying level the rhythms lazily accented. It is hard to believe this is almost 25 people or do. Sounds like 12. Yawn. Perlman needs to wake up this is not Baroque this is just boring. The soprano can do more and elsewhere.

I pray God gives me the strength to perform this song perfectly like this woman
Absolutely stunning. Amanda Forsythe is the baroque diva of our time!
Yes she’s fantastic isn’t she
Handel and Amanda : heaven!!!
Amen. Often one feels the arduous nature of the demanding lyrics than relaxing in the JOY of the content.
The soloist makes the words come alive with her expressions!
So beautiful! I love how lively and light it is both played and sung. My feet and my heart are both equally moved by this interpretation!
Her voice is perfection!!!
One lf the best. Delicious voice and interpretation 🙏🏼💜
19 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion, shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, thy King cometh unto thee; He is the righteous Saviour, and He shall speak peace unto the heathen
Thank You for bringing Heaven to me tonight...I laughed uncontrolaby and cried with soulful sobs...this was truely a Heavenly experience...🙏
Great 👌 piece that surely must find resonance with God's Angels in Heaven.
Goose bumps! That high C on "King" towards the end was inspired. Amanda owns this aria every time she sings it (and differently each time, also!)
просто умничка , изумительный тембр и подбор
Golly! That sop and trumpet player have blown me over!
Thrilling!
Amazing Glory to God . ❤
What joy!
Vozeirão tem esta cantora. Ela é perfeita para as obras de Haendel.
Great!!!
best rendition i've seenon
Gosh.

It is very beautiful! Have you seen Jeanine de Bique’s performance? Also amazing.
Pretty nice, yet a few ruptures in the coloraturas... Can't reach early Joan Sutherland's marvels, though!

Methinks GFH would have gooseflesh listening to AF.
Brava!

Looks like Handel wrote the aria just for her
Amanda has a small but beatiful voice. Still, she is far away from Lynne Dawson or Emma Kirkby.
