- Contralto Hilary Summers in two live performances of "He was despised" from 'Messiah'. The first is from 1993 and the second from August 2023. Considering the difference in conducting styles and also the pitch used, the recordings reveal the voice to be remarkably untouched by the years. A tribute to a solid technique, knowing what music your voice serves well and having the wisdom to avoid music unsuited to your instrument.
The second performance is followed by hearty applause, which I have never heard before in a "Messiah"...!
Voz De uma beleza espantosa! Interpretação sublime! Obrigada.👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋
Beautiful voice, thank you so much.
I think I was actually there, 30 years ago! I didn't know much about vocal music. Nor do I remember names of performers much. But for some reason this aria has always stuck with me through the years. And her voice made an impression on me then.
Weird how memory works 😊
Thank you for sharing this masterpiece sung by Hilary Summers.
And indeed the voice hasn't aged, and stayed in amazing shape.
Voice like Hilary are so rare.
Her velvet dark warm timbre, one note and you know it's hers.
Hope that you'll share more amazing fragments.
🌹🙏😇
Plenty more in my archive! You have probably seen her website….? I have a good back catalogue to exploit yet!!
@altoarchives I'm so very happy to read this. If you speak Hilary please ask her why she didn't continue Chum of the Month. Adored it! Great fun and Hilary is is the best.
This being said can't wait hearing more and new amazing footage.
@@christiaandhooghe Ha!! That is easy to answer! She is rubbish at technology!! That is only reason. I know some upcoming plans for new (actually ‘old’) chums. We are meeting up soon to go through The Technophobe’s Guide to Uploading to Your Site!! 😂. Seriously, they are not abandoned and will be back with other new content soon.
Is the full recording of this (2023) messiah available??? I ADORE Hilary, especially her Messiah, I'd love to hear this new rendition in it's entirety.
I do have it and will upload it in the future
@@altoarchives THANK YOU! Hilary is my favourite voice in this role, bar none, and though her voice is almost unchanged, it's wonderful to hear how her interpretation has changed in the intervening decades.
@@nathandavis3002 Whole performance now uploaded! ruclips.net/video/TCuuDOdO-Vk/видео.html
With all due respect to the mezzos, altos and countertenors who've sung this aria, I'd like to hear more baritones and bassos try their hand at this piece.
There is a video of Canadian bass-baritone Philippe Sly singing it on RUclips. Happy hunting…!
