I’m not sure what Rev Charles Jennens was up to when he added this verse from Malachi [3:3] ‘and he shall purify the sons of Levi that they might offer up to [YHWH] an offering of Righteousness’ to the libretto compilation of messianic oracles when there is so much other messianic material from the Hebrew tanakh such as Isaiah chapter 11:1-5 or Numbers 24:17 or Psalms 89:3-4 etc. but my God !! what a beautifully masterful g-minor chorus Handel created out of this single verse -as he did so often elsewhere in Messiah and so many great choruses found amongst his 40 or so Lenten oratorios -he was truly ‘ranked highest amongst the greatest choral composers of all time’ !!
Me recuerda mis años de juventud no tan lejana caminando a la universidad a percatarme de lo miserable de la condición humana. Gloria Dios y Haendel y la música
Tenors too loud and altos not loud enough, but that could be because of the microphone's location or settings. Musicians, conductor and choir are perfect, keep everything but change your sound engineer and film director.

My favorite piece of music.
It might be mine too.
Those sopranos! The ending sounds so true.
Great job. Really it is my favorite piece from Messiah
You must be a great singer in this small assemble.
Glorious!
Beautiful!

More wretched with each passing day. Come Lord Jesus, quickly!
So beautiful
spot on
Linda obra de Handel!!
Me encanta esta interpretación!
Muito bom! Maravilhosa as obras de Handel !!!!
Prachtig
Nice
Wonderful. Crotchet = 94 and not 97 makes all the difference
Acts 16:30-31
Someone teach me the easiest way to sing melisma notes!
I love this so much, but the alto was not loud enough 🥺

Yes, something in that, but a mere detail when the tempo is so glorious
I can hear the altos. I guess that it’s because I’m currently in rehearsals for “Handel’s Messiah”.
I think you must have cheapo pound shop headphone 😅
But the rall is not good. The express train slows down, it does not curtsey
Also hate the continuity harpsichord. Negates the whole ecstasy
