I have seen Messiah a gazillion times, but never have I seen a soloist who was able to wrench so many of the intended emotions from me - the tears roll.
I saw this mezzo-soprano named Elizabeth DeShong from Chicago perform it, her low notes were so rich and flavorful on this aria and it similarly drew all the emotions out.

Philippe Sly is one of the first barytones in these decades. Marvelous, colourful voice.
Mr. Sly, you have such a magnificent instrument but it is your intentionally mournful sound of this particular passage in the Word of God put into music by the genius Handel that literally brings me to tears and shame. I am so grateful I found this, at long last it seems. I have not been able to stop listening to your glorious and obvious love for this music, my own personal favorite, along with the other videos I have been able to view. THANK YOU for freely sharing this gift. BTW, I really love only having three violins who are literally weeping. BRAVO to ALL.
Glorious voice, with marvellous word pointing and vocal colouring, all used to brilliant effect in order to enhance the gravitas and drama of the piece. Bravissimo!
Bravo!!!
George Handel is my favorite and this guy would make this composer proud.
“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
Matthew 11:28-30
I recently re-watched the wonderful Messiah from Trinity Church performed with you 5 years before this piece. You were brilliant then, but I love the intimacy and emotionality of this glorious performance.
Where did you find it, I've been looking for that Messiah performance?

I contacted Trinity Wall Street Church earlier this year to ask about purchasing a recording of the full Messiah performance featuring Mr. Sly from Dec. 2016. The church was very gracious to share a digital copy of the performance for my personal enjoyment. What a pleasant surprise! Perhaps they would also share with you if you ask.
Philippe Your voice is magically sweet and clear like a mountain stream. I can listen to you endlessly. ❤️
Have you seen the Don Giovanni? It is here on youtube, very very pleasant to watch and listen, :)
@@Sgt_gh0st Yes! Mr. Sly has an extraordinary sense of theater. Always delightful ...
So lovely, to hear a bass/baritone singing this Handel aria. Bravo on a fine delivery of this piece.
The serenity tone in the musical melody and SLY's pristine baritone voice takes the listener to an eternal dimension of peace, calm, joy and stability.
Beautifully sung as always, Mr. Sly! Bravissimo
If there is one person I wish I could see live in concert, it is this man. Beautiful sir.
Come to Tennessee please!! xD
Come to Québec city for a night at the opera ; He is Don Giovanni now until May 21 !!
Well well well…
There are still countless men, women and children in our world today who reject and despise the resurrected Christ. Indeed, He was a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53. Thank you, King Jesus. For those of us who have been redeemed from the curse, Jew and Gentile, we thank you most sincerely for going to the Cross, and we earnestly look forward to spending eternity with You. Marantha! Come, Lord Jesus.
Such a wonderful voice. Why don’t we hear more of it?
I must say, I love this! Thanks for taking the time to do it this way.
Indeed.
Bravo! I like this take on this glorious air.
Your voice is awesome. Great control of that wild stallion. God bless sir
Great hearing a bass/baritone sing this aria for a change!
This thumps up comes from an alto who can sing this piece, but NEVER as this man who sings with such a mournful expression. I also think this piece is better served by a bass than an alto anyway. I don't know what Handel had at his disposal when he wrote this music but this is just my humble opinion.
What a voice!
Again and again I like more and more this wonderful voice. Thank you for sharing these nice pearls!
Yay! One of my favorites! I’m glad you covered this one, brilliant as usual!
Delightful. I love this... Thank you
This is such an amazing rendition!!Your voice is like velvet with such a deep richness to it!God has definitely given you a gift!Thank you for sharing it with all of us.❤️Come to KC Missouri anytime!!
Beautifully sung. Wonderful control and sensitivity. Bravo !

What a voice !..
You are truly blessed. What a voice. Beautiful
So beautiful and inspirational ~
Wow, I love it!!
Magnifique phrasé et timbre
An absolute angel on Earth!!! While vocal imitation is a big no-no, I can't help but hope my voice would ever get to that point. I even model my trombone after your sound!
Fantastic 😍❤️ loving the dynamic changes!
Magnifique
Beautiful
His ornamentations are uncommonly good.
Genial
Maravilhoso!!!
I wish I could ever get a chance to see you perform live. However, I love in the state of Nevada, and not the fun part either
💎
Very nice!
Wow
C'est si beau! C'était filmé où?
À La Tuque, au Québec !
Église St-Zephirin de La Tuque. Je vous ai découvert Philippe dans ces capsules et pourrai vous voir réentendre et revoir en Don Giovanni ! Je vous souhaite que du bonheur à chanter pour nous cette semaine !
Isn't this aria for alto?
Correct.
@@matthewyonkman5692 So it seems, for example, that the tenor (in the role of Alfredo) may sing "Sempre libera" from La Traviata and a bariton (in the role of Conte di Luna) opens his throat singing "Stride la vampa" in Il Trovatore. Is that known as "free interpretation" of roles? How about Gilda in Rigoletto singing "La donna è mobile" and the tenor "Caro nome"? Ha ha ha ha...each one in his place, so composers determined!
@@eduardoxavier7878 Do you see anything inappropriate in this performance? This is an aria foreseen for an alto or for alto countertenor , with the text of biblical prophecy. Why can't the bass-baritone sing it? After all, this is not a complete oratorio performance! And after all, Mr. Sly is one of the best bass performers in this oratorio today ruclips.net/video/IiLJC6p3sjM/видео.html
Oh. Who cares. This is gorgeous singing.
This guys obviously a fine singer but wow, contraltos must be seriously out of fashion. First it was countertenors, now the basses. Are contraltos allowed to sing anything anymore?
I would LOVE to hear Altos sing bass arias! I think it would help male singers a great deal to hear the vocal mechanism and approach of the female voice in their repertoire.
Contraltos, mezzos, countertenors and even sopranos have sung "But Who May Abide".
