Our daughter just passed away yesterday. And this recording just lifted my heart
So sorry to read about your lost but thanks to music like this and the words of the Lord through His holy prophets are a cause of joy and consolation. I'm reading your comment three years but I'm sure her passing is as fresh in your memory as if it happened yesterday. May the Lord comfort your aching heart and bless all your family!
Fantastica voce Joshua Hopkins,ed anche la tromba di Nathaniel Mayfield è stupenda.
SOOOON I will be done.. yessss. SING Edward ❤
What a performance! Inspirational, thank you. 🦋
A glorious performance ... soloist, chorus, orchestra, and conductor. This was the first time I attend a performance by this group, and I am so glad I did.
Whoa.... what a voice! The enunciation is perfect. I think the rolled rs are extremely good in popping out the sound. BRIAN
Amazing voice of the Bass. The best I can remember. His and the trumpeter's decorative notes made a big difference on the piece. The orchestra is equally excellent. Anthony Lau (Canada)
Gorgeous !!!!
Beautiful! I like how the soloist smiled-it is a triumphant song! And the natural light was beautiful.
Wow, the baritone/bass, is wonderful. Actually more than that, excellento !
And I shall be changed, to God be the glory :) Can't wait...
Beau timbre, élocution et projection parfaites, souffle et style, Joshua Hopkins est idéal.
Beautiful timbre, breath and style, speech and projection perfect, Joshua Hopkins is ideal.
I love Joshua's expressions both facial and vocal. He is just amazing and I thought I'd check him
out for chance. A very young United Parcel service guy came by and he said . Hey! you are really rocking in there and I said. You actually like classical music and he said he did and really liked it! Especially this particular Aria with Joshua singing it.
GORGEOUS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Muy bien . ejecutado . el bajo se oye claro . Perfecto .
Beautiful!
Brilliant, and the master of natural trumpet Nate Mayfield playing..
tremenda interpretación. ¡Bravo!.
Quando participava do GRUPO CANTABILE, em Porto Alegre, , graveamos o MESSIAH no Igreja RECONCILIAÇÃO, da IECLB no dia em que o grupo completava 15 anos. Fiu magnífico e inesquecível.
I am so fascinated by how an orchestra sound different from one another, and the singer too.
Very clear voice. Definitely I prefer a baritone to a bass for this Aria. Near heard all performances on you tube, with amazing voices, but many of them appear to be too dramatic for a Baroque Oratorio. I agree with keeping the score as the original and only including a cadenza in some endings.
Bella voz de barítono.
clean sound ! like it very much
different trumpet ,larger
Enormously gifted!! Amazing voice range.Points were taken off for that little part when Joshua seemed to be eclipsed between "immortality" and "corruption" and brilliantly and boldly used "immorrruption."
Kudos to everyone but especially to the trumpet player. He must have a compressor because his lines are beautiful and LOOOOOOONG!
I went to your site and it doesn't cut out there only on You Tube!
Todo lo que sea "El Mesias" me gusta, independiente de como y quien lo interprete.
The rolling of the tongue is a replication of the original piece;let's not forget that Georg Friedric Handel was a German whose music was heavily influenced by Italian Opera;that "R" was bound to be rolled either way. It perhaps shows the immense reverence that the classical music world holds for a true musical savante like Handel whose awe-inspiring musical genius seemed to pour forth from the very Throne of God; to listen to Handel is to hear the sound of Heaven.
Joshua really sounds confident like the Joshua in the Bible. Such an amazing Bibical figure.
...How can you say that he sings without passion? Were you even watching this video?!
I really love this video but it keeps cutting out! Please fix it!
How do you know that rolling the tongue was how "Messiah" was originally performed? Handel's background wouldn't necessarily be relevant to how his Irish/English singers would have sung in their native language.
Wow! Whose' the Bass soloist?. What a voice. Beautifully sung!
Joshua Hopkins, Baritone
After reading all the comments, I still have to say that Handel's oratorios are music dramas, and deserve a more dramatic interpretation. Put your book down and emote, for heaven's sake.
excellent prestation ! not so far from Colin Davis'
why trrrrrrumpet?
Recorded down 1/2 step … hmm
The conductor should see a good barber and tailor without delay...
Au contraire, he is the messy brilliant type - we need more of them !!
Good, but not the best version.
What a beautiful voice. But I don't like his rolling the "r's."
He has no idea what he's saying. Look at his face. There is no change in his face at all. He would sing the the same way whether he was singing about his parents dying or falling in love. He also scoops on his rolled 'r's and cuts to the ending consonants ("and wi shhhhhhhhhal be changed"). He also goes to the 2nd part of the diphthong (raiiiised-it tightens his tongue). On the very, very good side, he has spin (yeah), doesn't sing stylistically and doesn't maul (palatize) his ending consonants.
I can recommend a good eye specialist! This comment is really silly!!
