Different for many reasons: Bach was never a famous composer in life. Neither the cities of Thuringia nor Leipzig could compare with London. Bach never composed with the public's favor in mind; Handel tried his best to embrace success and popularity, constantly changing locations and employers. When he was looking for an ending for his Messiah and had to combat the anticlimax created after Hallelujah in Part 2, he invented a rimbonbant ending with his "Worthy is the lamb", with timpani and trumpets, designed to generate thunderous applause. Bach, on the other hand, ends the Passion according to St. Matthew with a chorus of waning strength ("Happy are your eyes that are closed at last"). Obviously there is a difference.
@@joangarcia-alsina2932 The Amen Chorus with its mind boggling counterpoint is the perfect end the Messiah. Messiah is not a passion it is an overview of the entire fairy tale of Jesus. The John and Matthew passions deal only with Christ`s death. Both composers were apex and both were very different.
@@joangarcia-alsina2932 That is an almost insanely bad misrepresentation of Messiah. The Handel as populist is nonsense twentieth century iconoclasm. Bach was well known and very well respected among musicians of the time, but he published very few works so was little known to the wider public. Handel is almost entirely responsible for creating the monumental, romantic figure of the composer we hold today. Before Handel, composers were primarily functional. Poetry and painting were the great arts. It was Handel who laid the ground for what followed.
She was at Covent Garden October 2019, also with Emelyanychev (conducting Age of Enlightment): that was incredible. The best opera performance I have ever heard (and seen, Barrie Kosky as stage director. I hope, ther will be a DVD of this performance). And Joyce is the very best!!!
How foolish to make comments about magnificent male body [ I am a gay man who appreciates such things] when the actual magnificence here is DiDonato's superb performance.
oh, you poor thing. Child Joyce’s voice is horrible for a singer at her level of international opera star. Joyce has bad phrasing, bad diction sometimes, a terrible tremelo and crating vibrato.
great voice. all perfect done. thanks Joyce. thanks orchestra, think I will never see a better performance. thanks Matt Matt. Maraming salamat maraming. .
Formidable plot for those who find the baroque opera boring and a magnificent display of the powers of a 24-year-old Handel. I was unaware that this representation had been made in our Liceo. I missed it.
After seeing this type of concert, whch is something quite new, how can singers go back to satnding in a nice frock, in full light before an orchestra and singing. Here - and we can even forgive the dreadful dress - Vivienne Westwood appears to have made it from old faric offcuts, stitched together randonly - the music quality, the singing, the lighting, her make-up, the entire concept totally stunning. Well done Joyce for being brave and stepping into a new world - it is very much appreiated - love it.
I love her too but good mezzo are thankfully plentiful and the roles varied. Joyce picks the ones she is best suited too . Comparing top draw mezzos is too hard comparing chalk and cheese
Manuel Palazo is an Argentinian born dancer. And way hot. And I suspect it was a diet of sweet potatoes and water before this plus several hours a day at the gym (that’s what all the male models do before a shoot). And, yes to all the comments.Joyce DiDonato is fantastic
DiDonato is really effective in Mozart and Rossini trouser things as well as this sort of Baroque rep. Her forays into female leads in Donizetti Bellini are a bit goatish as the top and somewhat opaque on colour. But in her lower range in lighter fare she is enjoyable as her rather white sounding top and dark low notes are effectively deployed.
I esp. liked the orch., the pacing of the short recit. sections, and the oboe's not slavishly echoing the voice. Joyce is a wonderful artist but the ornamentation on the 1st & second repetitions of the single word "Pensieri" just seems a little over the top--for me it doesn't fit with the aesthetic of the piece.
He is there for a very particular reason, it wasn't an arbitrary decision. I did the mise-en-scène and portions that needed choreography. Manuel Palazzo (the dancer in this scene) provided a visual commentary in this piece and others in the In "War and Peace: Harmony Through Music" created by Joyce DiDonato. Pazzo is not a prop, but an invaluable part of the entire concert. He was hired for his talent and artistry. The fact that some people label him as "the shirtless hunk in the skirt" shows their ignorance.
Terrible singer, lousy technique. Such massive ignorance a out the operatic voice today. (By the way, she's not really a mezzo, but a poorly trained soprano.)
Coat Hanger: What are the examples of her being a “terrible singer” with “lousy technique” which are a sign of “massive ignorance of today’s operatic voice? Why is she a poorly trained soprano? I assume you were ‘listening’ to the mute male which perhaps is you watched this??
Are you serious? What do you mean when you talk about "operatic voice"? Are you used to attending baroque opera performances? Do you like to show off and get noticed? etc.etc.
Joyce is a horrible singer, she sings and many listeners that can still recognize great singing hear her same generic emotion she uses for ever role if their is any emotion at all, then their is her often bad diction, bad phrasing, and tremendous tremelo and vibrato shaky voice, that ruins the music.
@@LaDivinaLover Imagine assuming that because someone dislikes this garbage singing that's being passed over as a "masterclass example of good singing" that they listen to Justin Bieber. You're pathetic.
I wish every aria came with a magnificent looking, muscle bound, shirtless guy
If only! But then they'd complain that it's "not about the music anymore". . . alas!
It seems to me you'd prefer a handsome guy without Handel's music)
Give me Handel, Bach and Streisand and you just with me
You better wish for good voices and leave your lust for your bedroom
Yeah, who is that guy?
For Bach lovers, this is why Handel is as great. The two giants were completely different.

Magnificent aria, incredible singer ! Bravo Didonato !

Stunning. I’m stunned . This just went right through me. Opera usually feels as if through water, out of my emotional reach. Not this. Brava!

Is there nothing this woman can’t do. God I love her.
Joyce can’t do this opera properly it sounds like.

Allow them to enjoy what they want to enjoy.
Don't be a snob.
Atleast they are watching
He is presented bare chested. That was a conscious decision.Opera is certainly about the music and the singing. It is also spectacle.

great voice. all perfect done. thanks Joyce. thanks orchestra, think I will never see a better performance. thanks Matt Matt. Maraming salamat maraming. .
This clip is just a short segment of her concepts concert in Carnegie Hall a few years ago. Each number was just as stunning as this one!
Stunning actress and singer, such presence. The hairs on the back of my neck stand up when she sings and there are not many singers who can do that.
I saw her in this at the Met last month. She was incandescent. rest of the cast was fabulous, too, but dominated by diDonato.
Such an incredible example of her amazing skill. Master of her instrument. I feel every note she sings.
Splendida interpretazione, voce ferma e timbrata, intonazione perfetta, dizione chiara per un'aria difficile, piena di ostacoli, applaudo
Voce ferma e intonazione perfetta? Ma quale cantante sta ascoltando? 😂😂😂
What a performance, joyce is just wowwwww
Hauntingly beautiful! Brava!
Well, it's not often that you get to watch that kind of torso on a concert stage.
E vero... Manuel è il mio nipote. :)
Well, he is quite a handsome man! Is he a dancer?
Dancer and choreographer...
InBoccaChiusa complimenti! :D
Marc Peycker have you seen Vittorio Grigolo?
Breathtaking!
Really enjoyed Joyce singing in this aria.
Superb singing.
Incredibly skillful and true to the Ed Baroque
Hats off to Ms. di Donato! Why? Well, if THAT guy grabbed me from behind, I'd ... I'd ... I'd forget my lyrics. ;-)
I believe that the Met is staging this opera for her in the next couple of seasons.
I'm captivated by this woman.
And it also seems she'll be doing it at the ROH around end of Sep/Oct next year. Looking forward!
True.
VERY interesting& talanted....Bravo!!!
superbe merci quelle tenue de voix !
Sublime! Superb! Bravo!
Maravilloso.
Formidable plot for those who find the baroque opera boring and a magnificent display of the powers of a 24-year-old Handel. I was unaware that this representation had been made in our Liceo. I missed it.
Drama!!! In the baroque!!! Who would have guessed!!!???? And magnificent singing!

Восхитительно!!!❤❤❤
For my money the best mezzo on the planet
The finest performing artist on the planet!
I love her too but good mezzo are thankfully plentiful and the roles varied. Joyce picks the ones she is best suited too . Comparing top draw mezzos is too hard comparing chalk and cheese
Incredible much to love
You are so fantastic!!!!
DiDonato - What a voice!
wow!
So touching. Brava!
Eccellente Di Donato
Stellar.
Ma la voce dove l'ha lasciata? È entrata in sciopero? 🤔🙄😨
Brilliant.
Insuperable
I can't keep my eyes off...HIM.
Bravo
how many push ups did you do to get those pecs? thanks in advance.

Fabulous singing as always! Utterly idiotic quasi staging😮
Well don't go to see Castelucci's Mozarts Requiem . You wouldn't get that either.

I'm looking at him.
Totally artsy.

I clicked on this for the guy.
Nice voice.
Ça ne me fait ni chaud ni froid
Oramai tutte cantano tutto senza averne i mezzi...la Storia Romana ci tramanda che Agrippina e' finita pugnalata....abbiamo speranze!
E non parliamo nemmanco del trattamento che dovrebbe subire chi scrive commenti di questo genere.
Ma poi vogliamo parlare di quanto è stonata?
È una cosa inaudita...
I’m impressed with her acting, but her singing leaves _much_ to be desired, in my ears. And they’re the only ones that matter to me!

Weird eye makeup is distracting.
Joyce's arms are bigger than the guy's.
Very interesting :(
correct, but her brests are bigger
So...
Und? Das macht nichts
Very catty.
Nasale e gallinacea
She is outstanding in this role, but what's with the shirtless hunk in the skirt? What is the function of his being there? A prop? What
