  • I know that my Redeemer liveth by Georg Frideric Handel
    I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that He shall stand
    at the latter day upon the earth.
    And though worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God.
    (Job 19: 25-26)
    For now is Christ risen from the dead, the first fruits of them that sleep.
    (I Corinthians 15: 20)

    This young lady stands at the microphone with great poise and confidence, singing with a very beautiful voice to the praise of God, with the magnificent accompaniment of the highly talented musicians.
    Tears were rolling down my cheeks.
    May God bless this lady, and may God bless this Church.

    This is indeed an uplifting rendition of this Handel piece. The soprano is just so pure; she's a calm soul singing which such serenity, yet piercing and sweet daintiness. The lyrics are just so fitting in the style of rendition. All thanks be to God.

    WOW! I have just watched several versions of this aria, and this soprano is the one who made who made it sound the most effortless and lilting, so that the listener is enjoying the lyrics instead of straining along with the soloist. Well done, Francisca Kusi-Ababio. She also seems to be enjoying the message, instead of of just trying to hit notes..

    I like the fact that her African accent is coming through in the song just as you would hear an italian accent if done by an Italian for instance. Weldone

    • @yandiabest3681
      @yandiabest3681 Год назад

      Yes! And it adds to her diction coming out clearly, which is a critical aspect of delivery aesthetic. Whitney Houston aways made sure her diction was on point so that people could understand the words to her songs. So many times you hear opera sung in English, but you cannot understand the words. Francisca, well done! You cause us to thoroughly enjoy your rendition of this beautiful, faith building and faith sustaining song. Hallellujah! Well done!

    Excellent!!! I keep Coming back to hear Francisca again and again. What a beautiful voice she has. GFH stopped over in my home town of Chester, putting the finishing touches to Messiah before sailing from nearby Parkgate to Dublin for its world premier. Could he ever have imagined that a performance from Gramphone Ghana would once be freely available at the touch of a button, world wide, in vision as well as sound? How blessed we are.
