- Comfort ye my people, saith your God.
Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem,
and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplish'd,
and her iniquity is pardon'd.
The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness:
Prepare ye the way of the Lord,
make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
Every valley shall be exalted,
and every mountain and hill made low,
the crooked straight and the rough places plain. - เพลง
beautiful and precise in all registers
What I like about this is that instead of coming boldly in like an Envangelist, the tenor here is a minister on the verge of losing his faith. It makes us listen to the words again, and ask what they really mean, what they really mean for us, each of us individually. By acknowledging doubt, the director Claus Guth makes this a deeper spiritual experience for me than most Messiahs that one just hears as performances.
Mr. Croft's melisma is sooo close to perfection; thank you for sharing his amazing talents. :)
Eine wunderbare ausdrucksstarke Stimme. Danke ❤👏👍🌻❤️
THE MARVELOUS RICHARD CROFT, I REALLY LOVE HIM AND HIS ANGELIC TENOR!
Marvelous tenor is Richard Croft!!!BRAVO!!!
greatest haendel, greatest richard Croft, greatest masterpiece. (splendid conducting and staging too)
Absolutely divine. Fully inspired, cannot be better.
This is powerful
This is beautiful . The funeral scene was unexpected as well .
I just saw Richard Croft as Loge in the 2012 Met Das Rheingold. He was so terrific that I started looking him up and came first across this. Just wow. Glory guy.
One will be hard pressed to find, heat or re-create a better actor or singer accomplish Loge’s role any better or even match that performance to which you refer.
Find Croft’s Handel Theodora performance at Glyndebourne DVD where appears w Dawn Upshaw & the late great Loraine Hunt (best mezzo). Unforgettable.
Ричард Крофт прекрасен!
Amazing power and clarity.
it cannot be more breathtaking. Wonderful
Beautiful!
I was lucky enough to see Mr. Croft perform live in this, and also some years later as Idomeneo at Theater an der Wien. The best contemporary Mozart tenor, in my opinion.
that's my favourite (musically, the production is ugly as sin) Idomeneo! Croft = wonderful.
Araiza and Hadley are better as I see it.
Wow, the runs are clean and accurate! Bravo!
yes, absolutely stunning.. the Ensemble Matheus playing exceptional as usually, too
Absolutely ravishing!
Masterful!!
fantástico!!!
I venerate you, Richard.
One of my hopeful wishes is to meet
you before death.
Long live.
Beautiful singing.... hideous staging.
Interesting. Never saw this staged! However, beautiful singing!
Weird to set this to a modern staging or even a staging at all.
The key has been lowered by a half step.
Akinkunmi Cook it’s at baroque pitch.
@@MrAristaeus yep, ~A415 instead of A440
Great wobble.
Not a fan of it staged. It takes away from the music.
I wouldn't want it staged every time. What I like about this is that instead of coming boldly in like an Envangelist, the tenor here is a minister on the verge of losing his faith. It makes us listen to the words again, and ask what they really mean, what they really mean for us, each of us individually. By acknowledging doubt, the director Claus Guth makes this a deeper spiritual experience for me than most Messiahs that one just hears as performances.
