I love this piece of Messiah. Very impresive perfomance with those extra notes and coloraturas. Bravo!

I really enjoyed that.
Brought up on Heddle Nash's rather strait-laced version (don't get me wrong: it's awesome in its own way), I loved your freer interpretation - which is most likely what Handel expected anyway.
And (I've said elsewhere on your channel) it's fabulous hearing a tenor who sounds like a tenor and not a baritone in tight trousers).

Thank you so much! It was fun to have the opportunity to explore nuance and ornamentation in this rendition of the Messiah!
