- Eternal Source Of Light Divine (aus: Ode for the Birthday of Queen Anne, HWV 74)
Eternal source of light divine
With double warmth thy beams display
And with distinguish'd glory shine
To add a lustre to this day.
Ewiger Quell göttlichen Lichts
Sende deine Strahlen aus mit doppelter Wärme
Und scheine mit prangender Herrlichkeit,
um diesem Tag Glanz zu verleihen.
Marie-Sophie Pollak, Sopran

I listen to this incredible music with the memory of young Sophy Scholl in my thoughts, who at 21 was arrested by the Gestapo in February 1943 at Munich University, that later resulted in her brutal execution by guillotine by the Nazis for her peaceful action resisting Hitler’s regime. It was reported that in the last moments of her life she looked up to the skies and said “It is such a splendid sunny day, and I have to go.” This was her realisation that she was never more to ‘feel the heat of the Sun’. Although her life was cut so tragically short, her immense courage and determined self-belief in what was right for the people of Germany, lived on just as the Eternal source of light Devine. Sophie Magdalena Scholl was born on 9th May 1922 and died a hero. A version of the text of the White Rose that led to Sophie’s arrest was later smuggled out of Germany, copied by the RAF and redistributed from the air by British planes flying over German cities as Allied propaganda that contributed to the inevitable defeat and fall of Nazi Germany. Incidentally Sophie loved the music of Bach and Handel and undoubtedly would have appreciated his wonderful melody. May Sophie’s memory continue on ‘with distinguished glory shine. To add lustre to this day’.
These unexpected gems from Handel are sheer ambrosia for the soul! You hear about water music and Messiah but these little forgotten delights are God's gifts!
He's in a league of his own imo, because nobody writes a more majestic cadence than Handel.
schönes stück. intonation passt leider net immer perfekt
Handel’s music is for the ages. Magnificent voice, and a fine performance on the valveless trumpet.
Transcendental, spiritually uplifting. It's a different world altogether. Thanks!
Ich bin stolz darauf, Pollak zu heißen!
Vielen Dank für diese große Freude für Ohr und Herz!
It's 90 degrees F here, and I have goosebumps all over my body!! What absolute perfection.
If life offered just one moment of happiness, then this music would be heard in it.
Une merveille de grâce et d'harmonie servie par une interprète aux sommet de son art. Merci pour ce moment ors du temps. J ne me lasse pas de le ré écouter. Vielen Dank Anne Sophie.Du bist ein engel.
Le dialogue entre la voix sublime de Mrs Marie-Sophie Pollak et la somptueuse trompette baroque de M. Matthew Sadler, dont la maîtrise est exceptionnelle, à en faire pâlir Alison Balsom, nous élève vers les sommets divins, là où brille la source Divine de la lumière Céleste, qui éveille en chacun de nous cette part de divinité qui sommeille en chaque être terrestre! Merci pour ce moment Divin!
I've spent months listening to other versions of this: somehow this one eluded me. The purity of tone of the soprano, the incredible "technical brilliance" of the valveless accompanist: the ensemble working together seamlessly - this is the best. Wow!!!
Sehr tolle Interpretation, dieses einzigartig schönen Werkes von Georg Friedrich Händel. Wunderwunderschön-wie die so tolle Sopranstimme mit der Barocktrompete verschmelzt ✨🎺✨💖 Musik aus dem Himmel✨
Point of Praise:
My blood pressure lowered 20 points listening to this.❤
So glorreich, himmlisch und herzöffnend. Danke
Divino Padre gracias por estos grandes y talentosos artistas. El Espíritu Santo toca el corazón de su pueblo a través de esta música excelsa y sublime. Beatissime Pater, gratias tibi ago magnos et ingeniosos artifices pro hoc. Per hanc praeclaram et sublimem musicam Spiritus Sanctus corda suorum tangit.
Plusieurs fois le trompétiste la regarde et hausse les soursils et se dit je rêve ou quoi cette voix extraordinaire !!! ❤❤❤
A beautiful young lady with the voice of an angel accompanying an amazing piece of music
