The more I listen to this performance, the more I admire it. It is absolutely stunning.
I fully agree
this is a masterpiece of humankind, please keep Dixit Dominus alive for the next 2923901 generations.
🥰😍
❤️💜💙🌺🌷🎉
Gardiner and the Monteverdi and Baroque soloists! Just stunning. To think Handel was only 22 when he wrote this. It,s amazing to sing it. A new revelation in every section. Such attack, accuracy and vigour here. Thank you all.
I have loved Handel’s Dixit Dominus since first hearing it in Winchester Cathedral in 1986, and have heard many different performances of it since then, but not ever anything like this! The intensity, sheer beauty and perfection are almost beyond belief. Sir John Eliot Gardiner, orchestra, soloists, choir - one cannot begin to imagine the work that must have gone into making this come to life in such a perfect and beautiful form. Thank you with all my heart.
yes
I agree a very mystical work.Made me feel like weeping it is so beautiful . Thanks
Oudtshoornify, your words in review capture the essence of this unique performance. I could not agree with you more! Thanks for articulating what others beyond ourselves must feel though the experience.

You obviously never herd the performance of Lithuanian chamber orchestra under the condact of Saulius Sondetckis,haven't you?
No, I have not heard that performance. You can not not appreciate any performance which is conducted by JEG's baton. His performances are consistently of the highest standard, and that is what he expects of each singer and instrumentalist. The whole experience is one of delight to the spirit.
it is like a medicine so heals your soul
ㅋㅋ
No, it's more a warning!
Great.
This isn't " like" medicine.
This is, in did medicine for body mind and soul !
Je ne connaissais pas le Dixit Dominus. Quelle révélation ! La direction de Gardiner galvanise les solistes vocaux les musiciens de l 'orchestre qui sont tous à l'unisson dans une communion, une joie une félicité incroyable . Gardiner est insurpassable dans ces répertoires baroques de Vivaldi , de Bach bien sûr et de Handel ,après avoir re-découvert Monteverdi. On deviendrait croyant en écoutant n'importe quelle oeuvre interprétée de cette façon si bouleversante et communicative !
C'est parce que l'homme à une espérance et croyance dans le divin que des cathédrales ont pu être construites, que la sixtine a été créée que des pyramides ont été élevées que des oeuvres comme celle ci sont nées. Mac Do, Samsung, dollar, Apple et consort appauvrissent nos âmes. Nous ne puisons notre force que dans le tout puissant...cosmique...élevons nos âmes, nous sommes trop faibles devant la mort et l'éternité, sinon à quoi bon la vie, si elle n'est pas faite d'amour et d'espérance face à la mort...
merci
This work is Amazing. I can't imagine myself at 21 composing such a masterpiece. Handel was a genius from a young age. Very admirable, since his family was upper class and they did not want him to be a musician, but a lawyer... but he was born to be a musician, he traveled through Europe studying different musical styles, many times he helped the poor through his concerts and died with honors. Now we can all enjoy these wonderful works. Thanks Handel 🙌🏻
Beautiful
Can you believe this piece? It has me shocked every time. It is the most metal thing I have ever heard.
He composed Dixit Dominus in Venice.
What crap is this? "Metal" is your best expression to describe this marvelous composition?
@@leopoldomontoya8754 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_metal_music
It's not only the beauty of the music and the enthutiastic rendering by Maestro Gardiner and his Monteverdi choir, but unlike too many groups these days, they are a pleasure to look at, clean, refined, poised, as in: "civilized'. What a joy to the eye and ear!
Tout ce que touche Gardiner se transforme en or musicalement
J'ai écouté cette musique dans mon enfance grâce à mes soeurs..et ma mère mais pas avec autant d'intensité que celle--ci dont l'interprétation est ABSOLUE !. Je suis chrétien et quand j'écoute cette musique j'ai vraiment le sentiment que le ciel est sur la terre... ou bien que la terre est montée vers le ciel. La richesse la diversité la quantité et l'expression de toutes ces notes voies et instruments : un concentré d'une densité EXTREME. Quel plaisir ont ils eu à jouer ce Dixit Dominus de Haendel dans cette magnifique église baroque: combien j'aurai aimé être là. BRAVO J E GARDINER ET LES SOLOISTS🙂
What an incredible performance. Gardiner takes Handel’ S music and these wonderful singers and musicians to a higher plane and also transports our musical appreciation and understanding. I sang this twenty years ago and wish I could do it again!
It is indeed incredible, Sally! By the way, I kindly recommend the appreciation of the work of a living classical composer dedicated mostly to sacred music: W. Ferdinand. I feel myself like a sort of non-official ambassador for his music - and, effectively, also one of his few supporters. He is very, very talented. You won't be disappointed. ruclips.net/user/WFerdinand
I know how you feel! I played in 2 high school orchestras and went to music camp in high school. I felt so engaged in what I was doing and loved practicing and playing with my school mates. Such a great experience!!!
This soprano has the voice of an angel. Beautiful performance!

@@Jean-MarcLesage1959 C'est quoi un "musicien"?
Gardiner è un mago. Tira fuori il massimo da ciascuno e realizza un insieme sublime
I love how dramatic, harmonically complex, contrapuntal and exuberant this work is. Händel brought choral music to the top in 1706 as a young man of 21 years old. In my opinion, no one could have done it better than him.
What about Vivaldi? Magnificat or Gloria or Domine ad adiuvandum me..
@@lorebern6538 Vivaldi’s music was wonderful, always full of life, however he was not overall as fine as Handel. “G.F. Handel, the master of us all”. W.A. Mozart.
@@lorebern6538 The great thing about Handel is his musical genius He used the musical forms from the rest of Europe to make a voice that was all his own , vocal and instrumental which had never been heard before This performance is a wonderful example of how his music transcended all others except Bach.
Ridiculous to compare Vivaldi and Handel. Both of them are perfect in their own way, but it is like comparing apples and oranges. Completely different.
Some of us happen to like one more than the other.
Handel, the consumate composer.
Barbra Streisand, in the day, the consumate actress and vocalist.
I think this work is the hardest to sing ever...so much counterpoint, fugal choruses and high notes. I read that Handel was 22 when he composed it 😱.. a really young Genius!!!
At that age, he just did not know what was impossible to achieve :-)
Die Fugen und der Kontrapunkt machen es nicht schwerer, sondern einfacher, die Musik zu singen. Es ist bei aller Emotionalität logisch aufgebaut.
You are correct. I am performing it tonight, and it is the only piece I had to actually practice outside the weekly rehearsals!
It elevates mankind beyond the realm of flesh and bones.
Amazing interpretation the best, greeting from Spain to England
gotta get my daily dose of handel
John Elliot Gardiner You have brought this piece to new heights. I was transported to a place of sheer beauty. Words are pale in trying to convey the emotional pathos and energy you gave to your players/singers and what you yourself poured out.
Great description
Plus je l’écoute et le regarde plus je trouve ce GARDINER et son ensemble chanteurs et musiciens exceptionnelles de beauté et de tempo. Bravissimo
Il a aussi un livre remarkable sur Jean Sebastian Bach. Saisit pas si c'est en Francais mais il est vraiment un grand de le genre. Music from the Kingdom of Heaven ou quelquechose
"Musique au château du ciel"
Effectivement très beau livre qui a bien été traduit en français.
Soul
Mai aussi. Je passais par ici en cherchant autre chose, et je n'ai pas pu m'empêcher d'écouter jusqu'à la fin. Je connais cette œuvre depuis longtemps, et j'ai le malheur de comprendre les paroles latines qui traduisent pour moi toute la brutalité que le fanatisme religieux peut inspirer : le dieu vengeur « implebit ruinas, conquassabit capita in terra multorum », il mettra des ruines dans tout le pays des ennemis, il écrabouillera (conquassabit) leurs crânes partout. Les paroles sont dégoûtantes. Mais ici j'ai été fasciné par la "dulcedo cantuum", la suavité de la musique, et j'ai oublié la brutalité du texte. Contrairement aux commentaires qu'on lit souvent sur RUclips, j'ai l'impression que les compositeurs de musique religieuse doivent souvent transcender les textes qu'on leur fait mettre en musique...
Fantastic , my deepest compliments to all the musicians ,the singers, the vocals and the director ! Astonishing good ! Thank you. 🌹🌹🌹
Astonishingly good, we’ll said.
Je ne me lasse pas d'écouter et regarder ce choeur en emphase avec son chef lumineux. Merci Handel merci la musique

Glorious praise for the One who gives Everlasting Life to all who simply believe in Him for it (John 3:16) .
Praise is indeed fitting .
RUclips continues to be a treasure trove of works and performances. I discover this performance this morning and I am transfixed. A completely enthralling work by conductor, choir, orchestra and soloists. In an incomparable setting. Just simply beautiful. Thank you all - thank you. 🙏🏻
What does Dixit mean?
@@davidedwards1885 Without needing to be a Latin scholar, this is the Latin for the 3rd word in the English translation of Psalm 110, which begins "The LORD said unto my Lord, come sit at my right hand..." In the Latin text, it begins with the verb.
It‘s long ago that i have seen this airline logo „British Overseas Airways Corporation“.
"Go change your Huggie, boy, and stop that cryin'"
Ditto all the above! (My intro to the work.) BRAVI !!
conductor, choir, and instruments doing an excellent job on this very difficult piece!!
Yes
Toujours aussi ’ amoureuse ’ de haendel ! Musique sublime ! Et sublimée par un chœur et un chef inégalé ! Bravo milles fois
Vous connaissez Zelenka ? Si vous adorez Haendel je pense vous allez aussi craquer sur la musique de Jan Dismas Zelenka ! C'est un compositeur tchèque de la même période qu'on redécouvre et qui a composé essentiellement de la musique sacrée latine intégralement de ce genre-là (parfois même en plus "folle") : ruclips.net/video/KFWAzNg5WmQ/видео.html
Beautiful. I am always a fan of Baroque. But some compositions speak louder than others, and this is one of them.
Could Heaven be any better than this?! No wonder Beethoven said that Handel was the father of us all! This must be right at the acme of Western Civilization. No other civ has come close to this, and the West itself seems now spent. What a marvelous, fabulous performance of this amazing opus! Mr. Gardiner seemed to have such an encouraging and collegial attitude. One that says 'we are all in this together,' rather than acting as if he wrote the music and is the master and is prying it out of the singers and musicians. This is such a treasure. Altissime grazie to all the performers in this momentous accomplishment.
I prefer French baroque, but I agree about what you said!
Still watching/listening to this over and over , it's always so exciting!
Fatastisch Qualität und Dirigent. Ich bin
88 Jahr😮e.Gut, das der Text teilweise übersetzt ist.So hörens- und sehenswert. Der Dirigent .❤
8 seconds listning and straight to "favorits"
one of the best performance ever, just love it
I hear this far too rarely for no apparent reason. It is delightful, and full of spirit. I love it
It's extremely difficult for the chorus.
Hmm
I just performed this piece and I know why lol. It’s pretty difficult and at 440 (modern tuning) very high for the soprano section at least HOLY TOLEDO 🥴 After my initial discomfort with the thing though, it was A LOT OF FUN!!!
Music is as essential as food and water. This type of music with musicians like these.
Blessings.
Hervorragende Interpretation des Werkes. Mit Freude und Ausstrahlungskraft sind die vorwiegend jungen Sängerinnen und Sänger wie auch die Instrumentalistinnen und Instrumentalisten (auch die älteren Semester) angesteckt vom Dirigenten am Interpretieren. Man sieht den Spass den alle Beteiligten haben. Einfach fantastisch, ein Genuss - ein grosses MERCI.
Masterpiece
It makes me happy that this audience loves and appreciates classical music so much!
Me too
I had never heard Dixit Dominus before last month. It's a wonder like I've never heard. Now I need my daily dose... I love each of the choir and orchestra members. I admire J. E. Gardiner, I'm very moved to see the way he conducts the singers and the musicians. Thanks a lot Cantus 5 for posting. Merci beaucoup :-)
Perfect comment. Exact same feeling here! 👍
@@dalindgren x3
eu amo essa obra de Handel, é uma das minhas obras sacras prediletas
Ela é esplêndida.
Estou cantando hoje à noite!
Видео, к которому хочется возвращаться. Шедевр Генделя, где присутствуют красота и сила - эстетическая и духовная. Солисты, хор, оркестр, объединенные великолепным дирижером, создают вместе с композитором полнозвучное, эффектное и очень человечное произведение. Автору спасибо за видео высшего уровня.
Perfect, spine tingling. A performance for the ages. It may never be bettered. Oh to have been able to sing like this!
I turned this on knowing it was choral music and I thought I’d last 3 minutes. I couldn’t turn it off! Absolutely beautiful!!
Ditto.
Yup, Handel does that to you, particularly when performed to this standard.
I loved this piece from the first time I heard it as a young man, and insisted on conducting it with the Keele Bach Choir. This interpretation captures brilliantly the youthful exuberance and vitality of Handel's writing> Gardner brings much innovation to a performance which is both virtuosic and utterly committed. We are lucky indeed to have this performance for posterity.
Absolutely agree, John! By the way, I kindly recommend the appreciation of the work of a living classical composer dedicated mostly to sacred music: W. Ferdinand.

Quality
Yes I think it is indeed youthful exuberance! Like Handel is saying, "look what I can do!" When I first heard this work (and luckily it was this performance), I was stunned at its intensity, drama, and emotional range- it is a perfect example of the Baroque style at its most spectacular. I can never understand those who think Baroque music is just mathematical and mechanical. It must be thrilling (and hair-raising) to conduct, you are so fortunate!
Потрясающая музыка, великолепное пение, а дирижер просто уникум.
Beautiful rendition ; wonderful Handel !
This is the most beautiful piece of architecture created with voices and music!!!
Best rendition I’ve heard.
Her parcasi ayri birer saheserdir.
Beautifully done! Glory to God!
je ne me suis jamais lassé de ce Psaume du dimanche soir mis en musique par Joseph H. C'est pour moi l'une des plus belles perles du Baroque, un don du Ciel fait aux hommes en Europe. C'est la quintessence de la culture européenne. Vraiment.
Absolument d'accord !
Est-ce que vous ne confondez pas Haydn et Handel ? L’œuvre que nous écoutons est de Georg Friedrich Haendel et non de Joseph Haydn :)
Superb music beautifully performed by chorus and soloists. Brings real meaning to the words of truth.

i performed this with my university choir and it was one of the most amazing yet hardest musical experiences of my life. like this piece is so beautiful but so difficult to perform
De torrente at 23 min is ethereal! The sopranos blend beautifully!
Indeed!
With ensemble vocal de Lausanne, de torrente est encore plus beau, à mon humble avis
Amazing voices, an incredible conductor.
F A N TA S T I C !! Sir John Eliot Gardiner is just a magnificent, inspiring and demanding Maestro. As a result GF Handel's musical jewel is polished and delivered to the audience in a superb interpretation The staccatos would please even the composer himself. "Said the Lord / Dixit Dominus" Just Awesome!
A wee smile from Maestro to the choir, and you would do anything he asks. Isn't he just the best?! 💖🎶🎵

Mr. Handel is surely beaming with joy from his Heavenly realm at this superb rendering of his music.
Very simple music compare to the complex works by Bach.
He went to Italy at age 22 to show the Italians that he can compose in their style with this one. I don't think there was any doubt afterwards about his abilities thereafter.
@@opus4rv Handel learned it all from the Italians. Do you know of Italians going to Germany to learn music? Haendel is a second-hand product. Leo Depuydt (Brown University)
@@leodepuydt308
I don't think it is right to say that händel is a second hand product. Yes, he used the Italian style and not the German, but he did it brilliantly (I don't refer ro some copies from other's), and he also used some German themes in some of his works.
@@leodepuydt308 Maybe your description is a little rough and impolite to Haendel, but indeed Italy still was the cultural capital of the world at the time and their truths the most recognized. Even in our days, the names of the notes, the tempo indications and other elements in music, are Italian or latin.
Je connaissais pas et c'est un pur bonheur ! Je pense je vais l'écouter mainte et mainte fois ! Un chef d'oeuvre !
The Text which is Sung here is read at church on the Day of Ascension of Christ, we have it today (Thursday, 18. of May 2023).

Thru the singer’s and Gardiner’s facial expressions I get the feeling the relationship is intensely collaborative and full of mutual respect
... the intensity, the speed - goose bumps
the dignity, the passion - hard on
It's really something.
I'm in love with this interpretation
Ah ouais
De ma vie je ne me lasserais jamais de cette oeuvre, découverte maintenant il y a 50 ans...JEG est extraordinaire...
Che meraviglia il giovane Handel "italiano"! Che suono cristallino e trasparente, a volte delicato, a volte energico e dinamico. E gli splendidi cori anticipano in tutto i grandi oratori della maturità. Esecuzione magnifica!
A truly great performance thank you very much
Браво! Это очень сильно. Потрясающая синергия музыки Генделя, великолепного хора, оркестра и дирижера.
Beautiful performance, with a perfect meld of voices in a spectacular setting. Handel is definitely a gift to us all.
He has given us the key, we must simply turn the (to) Handel
I agree. It is more than gift...
What an amazing moment !! The piece is marvelous, the choir and orchestra are perfect and what about the conductor! Brillant ✨
Handel helps us understand why this passage was the Apostles’ favorite.
Gardiner and his ensemble always fabulous.
Herrliche Musik und wunderbare Stimmen, alles war perfekt .Bravo
It’s really beautiful
Divine and wonderful! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Unbelievable musicality…simply beautiful ❤
une façon de diriger qui lui est bien particulière et qui fait de lui un des plus grand chef d'orchestre , c'est ce que je ressens
One composer I admire Gardiner for is Handel. He understands the beauty of Handel's music which, in the main, relies on the force and vigor of details. He does not try to smooth them out in a refined bland manner as some H.I. P. performances.
The Virgam Virtutis is one of my all time favourite Handel arias! It’s sublime
Браво! Блестяще! Полный восторг!
J'écoute cette oeuvre pour la première fois. L'émotion est là, immédiate. Magnifique, pureté, un petit moment de bonheur. Mariage parfait des voix, des chœurs et des instruments. Merci

Just listening to Handel makes I forget about the trouble of this transient world
ヘンデルの音楽を聴けば浮世の悩みが速やかに消えて行きます。
l'entrata del soprano e del contralto iniziali sono totalmente GENIALI
I love Handel so much that I named my foal with his name... Gardiner is amazing! This is a great masterpiece!
Handel is my favorite composer! For my music degree: I wrote my thesis on Handel's organ concertos.
@@ericvanjames8395 Congratulations. You made a very wonderful choice. What is amazing in Handel, in my opinion, is the fact that he didn’t came from a music family, like Mozart or Beethoven. He had to fight with his father to study music! When I think about this time - barroco time- and see what we’re living nowadays, I fell myself sadness….
This is my favorite Handel work, and this could well be my favorite performance despite a little bit of ropey singing from the soloists. I always think about how Handel wrote this at age 21, and I hear his youthful passion driving every note of this fiery and dramatic masterpiece.
I once had a teacher who gave the opinion that the music of the Baroque era was mechanical and unemotional, "like mathematics". You hear people say this quite a bit, which mystifies me. Baroque music is overflowing with passion and drama, even grandiosity. Is it an inability to connect emotionally in that person, or is it just a lack of understanding and experience in listening, I wonder...?
April 14, 2022: I'm listening to this again, I've lost track how many times. I can't stay away for long. Apart from the magnificent performance, I love how the audience goes approximately wild with appreciation!
This is one of the few Handel works that I like wholeheartedly, because it is uncompromising. It seems that later in his career Handel wanted to give the public more accessible music. The idea that Baroque music is passionless is a myth. Bach, for example, was strongly influenced by Pietism, and it shows in the passions and cantatas. And then there's Louis Couperin, Buxtehude, and others, whose music is intensely emotional.
+David Roddis ' W O W ' ! DAVID ; I'M VERY IMPRESSED WITH YOUR POST ! YES THERE CERTAINLY IS PASSION AND DRAMA AND MUCH LOVE EXPRESSED IN ' BAROCOCO ' (THIS WORD COINED BY ' DE KOVEN ') MUSIC ! MY SECOND MUSIC IMPRESARIO AND TEACHER , ' GRAND MASTER ' " DE KOVEN " CONDUCTED HIS CLASSES ON ONE HOUR RADIO BROADCASTS EVERY WEEK (SUNDAYS) , FROM 1958 OR 1959 UNTIL HIS DEATH IN THE 1980'S . I WAS WITH HIM EACH AND EVERY WEEK FOR ABOUT 15 YEARS , LISTENING , ENJOYING , LOVING , AND MOST OF ALL I WAS ' LEARNING ' ABOUT AND DISCOVERING THE FOUNDATIONS OF THIS MUSIC THAT HAVE REFLECTED ON THROUGH TO THE MUSIC THROUGHOUT TIME UP UNTIL THE PRESENT DAY . DE KOVEN'S RADIO PROGRAM WAS APPROPRIATELY TITLED ' THE DE KOVEN CONCERTS ' AS HE WOULD TAKE A COMPOSER LIKE MOZART OR SCHUBERT AND USING HIS VAST RECORD ARCHIVES COMPARE ARRANGEMENTS AND EVEN CONDUCTORS VERSIONS OF THE SAME MUSICAL PIECE , OF COURSE TELLING US WHY ONE WAS MORE DEFINITIVE THAN THE OTHER . UNFORTUNATELY THERE IS ONLY ONE SHORT AIR CHECK OF HIS RADIO PROGRAM ON YOU TUBE @ OF WHICH I'VE INCLUDED IT ONE OF MY MANY YOU TUBE PLAYLISTS THAT I DEDICATED SPECIALLY , TO THI S'WONDERFUL MAN @ I'M INCLUDING THIS PIECE BY HANDEL ON THERE ALTHOUGH , I BELIEVE HIS BEST WORK WAS ' THE DETTINGTEN TE DEUM ' WHICH DE KOVEN USED AS HIS OPENING AND CLOSING RADIO THEAM THROUGHOUT ALL THE YEARS . WHICH MEANS ' DE KOVEN ' GAVE IT HIS HIGHEST RATING ' SUPER DUPER O.T.U. ' = (OUT OF THIS UNIVERSE)
? Ropey singing? I think the sop(s) and alto are fanTAStic ... @David Roddis
+David Roddis Which soloists are "ropey"? Bass, tenor, two sopranos, alto? I don't find blanket condemnations useful sans specifics. Do you mean the soloists Gardiner asked to encore their duet. perhaps? If so, your expert criticism of their singing would surely be enlightening.
I agree, the soloists are a tad ropey - the chorus sounds amazing though. Masterpiece of a work. We performed this a few years ago, still my favourite today, even after performing many other works.
semplicemente SPLENDIDO!
A wonderful music coming from heaven !
The energy and sheer joy of the lead singers that was wholly shared and supported by the entire choir was electric and the sparkling performance of the entire orchestra, all combined here to make a magical musical moment for everyone present. It remains great for us now to hear, but must have been incredible for those privileged to witness. All thanks to John Elliot Gardiner
This performance is utterly engaging. Everyone fully present. Energy fantastic . Thanks for the subtitles. My Deutsch is better than my Latin. A joy to watch as well as to listen to. Gardiner is a wonderful conduit for Händel.
I sometimes feel that some great music does not need a conductor. In this case a great piece of music was made even greater by the CONDUCTOR & PERFORMERS if that is possible...Yes a memorable performance by Sir John Eliot Gardiner...
I enjoy watching him conduct
What an absolute master musician and leader! So inspiring!!
This is a gorgeous performance. My choir was scheduled to perform this on March 15, 2020, and we cancelled the concert two days prior because of Covid. It's wonderful to listen to it now and pretend it hasn't been a year since I've been able to sing with my choir.
I'm in the same boat. We were going to sing a concert as well of Canadian repertoire. We've been meeting on zoom but it's not the same thing.
I hope you guys get to perform!!
I have great admiration for people who have developed musical skills to the point of performing in symphonies.
My terminology might be off, but I just love baroque music.
@@mynamewhatis7254 Thanks! The plan is that whenever it's safe to do so (hopefully soon) we'll perform the exact concert we would have last March. I cannot wait.
Gardiner is definitely a name to follow as far as recordings of best of class vocal baroque
Musique divine! Si seulement la jeunesse était nourrie de ces magnifiques motets au lieu de se droguer à l'infernale techno, elle serait bien plus heureuse!...Merci MILLE fois!

Virgam virtutis - Esther Brazil, mezzo
Tecum pricipium - Katy Hill, soprano
Dominus a dextris - Katy Hill and Emilia Morton, sopranos;
Ben Alden and Peter Harris, tenors; Alexander Ashworth, bass
De torrente - Katy Hill, soprano 2; Emma Walshe, soprano 1
