Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned. 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 shall be made low; the crooked straight, and the rough places plain.
I have Listened To These Awesome Promises of GOD ×4, as if I were Hungry, and It was my Gourmet Food, Fri, 10/14/22, and was I was Well Fed! Thank you So Much! *A Very Beautiful Rendition of Comfort ye my People, and Every Valley shall Be Exalted; The Crooked (shall be made) Straight, and The Rough Places (be made) Plain! Thank you Young Man! God Bless you, Much!!! Amen!
These two pieces are about as perfect an opener that a composer can get. The style sets the tone for the entire 'Messiah'. Comfort Ye...before laying out the case of the Biblical texts of prophecy. i.e. relax - everything will be fine...this is what will happen. You are in the perfect state of being for perfect timing. No one is ever in the wrong place at the wrong time. They may think that they are. But no. Lessons. All there are is lessons. Whether we decide to interpret anything as 'not worthy' of what You think is happening to yourself. It is perfect and the answer is painfully simple.
My support from Spain to your beatyful words wrotten from your soul and with a feeling of hope for all the World listening the Eternal music of Maestro Haendel.
Sung in true Tenor fashion. There are so many Tenors these days that are not true Tenors who sing these wonderful word/tunes. Listening to you, I can hear my father singing the same pieces. Your tonal qualities are just superb.
What a beautiful tenor voice. So lovely an opening to Handel's Messiah. I've never heard it performed with such true expression. And his runs are perfectly controlled. Handel's runs are the challenge of this oratorio.
Catherine, we will find peace, not in our world but in God who is the giver of peace. One day He will come back to claim all those who trust and follow Him, and He will give us a new earth where only peace and joy dwell. Amazing!
In the midst of all the music in Messiah, Handel can still brings such riveting yet tiny themes that once heard are never forgotten. Those five notes are exquisite.
This is just wonderful. Everything about this performance and the recording is spot on. I'm listening to it for the umpteenth time and I can't get enough of it.
So beautiful , and the words are so easy for the listener to hear (and I'm deaf). Wonderful breath control and sung with such understanding. Thoroughly enjoyed the Orchestra too. Will watch this countless times. Thank you!
Comment haendel nous ordonne le monde , met un ordre monumental dans nos pauvres borborigmes de fœtus de pensée et nous envoie au septième ciel , tout près du divin . puisse t’il élever nos âmes avec ses fastueuses et féeriques musiques!
Quelle voix riche et expressive! Une interpretation exceptionnelle qui allie puissance et tendresse, une véritable perfection! Voilà qui remonte le moral en ces temps difficiles. Merci!
beautifully done, pure voice perfect for this song, so many versions by so many trying too hard and too showy... your singing draw attention to the flow of music and lord's words...thank you for posting.
Many people "believe" Jesus is the true Messiah but if you will study - really study - the Bible texts used in the Messiah score by Handel, I think you will find that your doubts will vanish and you will be able to day truthfully, I know that my redeemer lives.
I saw this in 1980 for the first date I had with my future husband. Now 3 years after his death, I'm to see it again at Exeter Cathedral with the new man in my life. Thanks for posting!
Sublime phrasing, impeccable tempo, warmth and yet clarity of a voice whose desired flares, undulate so clearly and dance to perfection and without the slightest quivering, every moment in unison with an orchestra so just that we may wonder, who drives and who follows ... What else, if not bravo, excellent, a delicious treat with apparent ease so disconcerting that it would expurgate, doubly astonished by this word almost unfortunate, and at least willingly, if the purpose required, its paradoxical literality .. .!
. But I'm happy for you, if your wide knowledges about music theories, or any instrumental practices, may help you to appreciate music or even only to distinct between heavens creations and masterworks from the common bullshit.... which has more probably inspirate your sterile, stinking and stupid comment.. I don't need or care any of your answer...Don't spend your precious time or talents.. and more over your so cheap and limitaded intelligence or even, who knows, any goodness...
Maravillosa interpretacion... No dejo de emocionarme cada vez que escucho esta version..que bien cantada con sutileza y sinceridad.. Todos los "confort ye" del cantante tienen una belleza increible..el segundo "confort ye" divino y el cantado "a capella" tan dulce y honesto que estremece el alma... En cuanto a la orquesta suena divina aterciopelado sonido y vibrante cuando hace falta... Una emotiva,sutil y vibrante interpretacion en conjunto... Gracias...

I am qn atheist, but I absolutely adore all the wonderful music that religions have inspired and I sing avidly in a superb choral group.
The two words over which the greatest music has been written:
Kyrie eleison.
Magnificent! Nicholas exhibited outstanding vocal control including his volume and vowels pronunciation of his words!
I think the youth of today don't get to listen to great music no longer🥺😢
Thank you dear Father for this beautiful music.
Never have I heard this done so well. Beautiful
Beautifully done. Handel would approve.👏👏👏👏👏👏
Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned. 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 shall be made low; the crooked straight, and the rough places plain.
This is beyond beautiful!
A comforting place
to have hope for
heaven.
Best I've seen so far
Praise The Lord who paid price for my sin. I am terribly sorry. You are the way the truth and the life. Thank God.
You gave a commanding performance. Thank you very much. I am grateful.

Absolutely fabulous beyond a shadow of a doubt! 🙂
What a beautiful tenor voice. So lovely an opening to Handel's Messiah. I've never heard it performed with such true expression. And his runs are perfectly controlled. Handel's runs are the challenge of this oratorio.
Perfect marriage between the orchestra, the poetry, and the "voice in the wilderness" of Nicholas Sharratt rendered her. Thank you! Beuatiful!

Solo singer. Is like the soft wind through the wilderness, thanks
I love God's Word set to music
my favorite piece!
So moving... from the heavens above to the earth below. May we find Peace in our world one day. Thank you for uploading.
Catherine, we will find peace, not in our world but in God who is the giver of peace. One day He will come back to claim all those who trust and follow Him, and He will give us a new earth where only peace and joy dwell. Amazing!

Thanks a lot. That was awesome! Praised be our Messiah, Eliyaanu Yehuda, The Lion of Judah, Yeshua Ha' maschiac, Jesus Christ. Amen!
This is just wonderful. Everything about this performance and the recording is spot on. I'm listening to it for the umpteenth time and I can't get enough of it.

This music was truly divinely inspired. It is timeless. God be praised for ever and ever. Amen.
Spectacular!
wow wow tenor sing a masterpiece
The God of all comfort shall comfort ye...
Woke up with this passage in my head this morning and had to hear it. Glad I found this one. Wonderful job, sir.
So beautiful , and the words are so easy for the listener to hear (and I'm deaf).
Wonderful breath control and sung with such understanding.
Thoroughly enjoyed the Orchestra too.
Will watch this countless times.
Thank you!

Deutero-Isaiah 40: 1-4. One of my favourite sections of the OT. Darius has liberated Babylon and God's chosen people may return to their own land. 😃
So clear n perfect rendition
Simply beautiful!!!!
A difficult aria sung beautifully - nice conducting too!
Two of my favorite songs from Messiah.
Handel,está interpretación,hermosa y clara voz.todo simplemente.bellisimo
I listen to this over and over. Mr. Sharratt, your singing touches my heart and soul. Thank you.
Quelle voix riche et expressive! Une interpretation exceptionnelle qui allie puissance et tendresse, une véritable perfection! Voilà qui remonte le moral en ces temps difficiles. Merci!

One of the best versions of this air.
A wonderful solo by a wonderful man

Beautiful soothing voice.
This song was for 2020.so prophetic....see the hill, mountains are being made low(china,america)
Please do not prostitute this work of art by inserting politics into it.
@@Emper0rH0rde You make a valid point, but she does also.
Beautiful Heavenly singing
Wonderful brother!
Very NICE .....maybe one day every valley shall be exalted
Absolute elegance of interpretation and such beautiful intention to every note. Beautifully sung, sir.
Absolutely lovely!
Timeless!
Wonderful 😊
This voice is amazing! I CAN'T STOP LISTENING TO THIS PIECE!. Amazing performance...STUNNING!

Every valley shall be exalted,
and every mountain and hill made low,

Isaiah 40:4
Joseph Benison I knew it was from the bible - should have realized it was probably from Isaiah , I couldn't remember exactly which book it was from.
@@stefanieprejean6609 All of Handel's Messiah is from the Bible.
What a beautiful voice you have! Lovely tone and incredibly exquisite control.
Beautiful voice, beautiful strings.
I saw this in 1980 for the first date I had with my future husband. Now 3 years after his death, I'm to see it again at Exeter Cathedral with the new man in my life. Thanks for posting!
Beautiful!! I hope it has worked well for you!
God bless you!! :)
Blessings this Christmas Beverley.
Be comforted by the Lord..

Stunning piece - this was played at our Second Sunday of Advent service this evening.
Much tenderness in the violins.
Beautiful, gentle tone. Wonderful technique too.
il mio commento in italiano!!! Bellissimo, dolcissimo uomo per questo brano sublime
Incredible. Especially since it's obvious to me this man is humbly singing for Him and not for himself
Wonderful singing, soul enriching and feeling heavenly closeness
so agree with you, very fit of his voice to the whole setting
Great voice!
BRILLIANT!
Incredible breath control. I think I'd pass out if I tried what he did and I'm a pretty decent singer. Live long and prosper friend.
Maravilloso!!!
Amazing !!! Peter Sellers has returned and he sings very well now :-)
Humble, musical, beautifully sung
Wundervolle, schöne Stimme ❤️🌻👍👏
Me trae dulces recuerdos
i love your vocals.
This is lovely! It didn’t burn down my barns, but that’s OK!
Beautifully performed, Mr. Sharratt!
Rico trabalho servo do senhor; mensagem introspectiva apontando a solução em Deus 😊❤
Wow, this reminds me of Master John McCormack! Pure, ease and captivating...love and Bravo...!
