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. from Nigel Reilly, age 77, Coventry, England.
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..
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.
I have heard and loved this song all my life but this rendition through her beautiful and gentle voice as most deeply moved me. Thankyou for the blessing.
I love her ornamentations - they are a refreshing addition. The Westminster Chimes took their inspiration from this eternally amazing work. God Bless GFH.
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
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!
What a beautiful performance and rendition! I love the way Francisca Kusi-Ababio smiles throughout and her wonderful improvisations. Great young orchestra too. Thankyou Gramophone Ghana for making this available to us on YT.
Fabulous soprano of breathtaking clarity and wonderful interpretation. Congratulations to the Orchestra, Choir and Leader on a beautiful and very enjoyable performance.
I had just read a devotional about joy. Then the Lord brought to mind, "I know that my Redeemer liveth." And JOY it brought me when I listened to this rendition! Thank you so much for the clarity of diction with which you sing! Thank you! Thank you!
Lovely song that exalts our Lovely Lord. Well done both musicians and singer. The Lord is mindful of our efforts to glorify Him in proclaiming the Scripture and exalting the name of Jesus. Well done.
Without question one of the most beautiful voices I ever heard sing this piece and I have heard a lot of them! This choral and orchestra has much to be proud of! Absolutely stunning. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for posting this precious, sacred, astonishingly beautiful video which cuts through all my fears, doubts and hesitations, and takes me home directly to the heart God.
Absolutely stunning voice, with phenomenal control and seemingly effortless high notes. The ornamentation was thoughtful and, in my view, entirely appropriate. To top it all, the orchestra performed beautifully and was very well conducted. A revelation.
It is December 2021 and I have only just found this on youtube. What a beautiful performance. Sung from the heart. I hope we will see a lot more of Francisca.
I'm proud of you girl. I witnessed how you practiced and worked hard on your voice. Combining all these with studies and work, you are a genius. You are getting better and you'll go far. *You are one who don't pay attention to unhealthy critique, so I know it doesn't budge you.* Go higher girl
Such a beautiful voice and performance, sincere and moving. She deserves a real orchestra, a real conductor, a vocal coach who specializes in Baroque performance practice.
Ian Travers 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.
No atheist can sing this aria convincingly .May God bless and protect this beautiful woman.
Wonderful !! An accomplished choir. Good job done.
Can you imagine the choir in heaven if the Lord's children can sing this on earth. O praise the Lord. Wonderful wonderful.
amen,oh my dear Lord Jesus, help me today win a soul for You,show me how
Magnificent voice

WONDERFUL
I have heard and loved this song all my life but this rendition through her beautiful and gentle voice as most deeply moved me. Thankyou for the blessing.
Ghana has some of the world’s best vocalists.
Voice of an angel, hair doo of an empress.
What a wonderful rendition of what I would want to be song at my own funeral!!!
Me too!
A beautiful and full voice regardless of register. And brought about by seemingly little effort. I was actually stunned.
Every day I watch this! The Spirit of God anoints this choir, soloists & musicians! And drummer too! Excellent!
What a marvelous voice! And she sings from her heart as well.
An angel singing ! Francisca, the flower of Africa !
Her voice is heavenly❤
Sublime! She makes it appear so effortless.
I was touched by the pure joy and adoration on her face and voice. She is so beautiful with such an enthralling voice.
I love her ornamentations - they are a refreshing addition. The Westminster Chimes took their inspiration from this eternally amazing work. God Bless GFH.
Very very well composed.Bravo ,my African Sister.
Impressive - and sung without ego or bombast, but with quiet faith.
You are a singing sensation. Keep it up. Love it.
Beautiful enunciation and nicely paced
ALL ARE PERFECT- TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!!!!!

Such a beautiful voice and performance, sincere and moving. She deserves a real orchestra, a real conductor, a vocal coach who specializes in Baroque performance practice.
Many ways to baroque Handel,especially with modern instrumentation available.

No es la mejor interpretación musicalmente hablando, pero es la que más me ha emocionado.
Un saludo y gracias desde España.
