That's greatness and beauty together. A masterpiece, neat voices and performance.

[@stefanstamenic3640]

The divine aria. Great performance. Great voices. The great Handel. Extra bellissimo: "The righteous shall be had" [Larghetto e staccato] (26:03)

[@howardphykitt915]

Absolutely Wonderful.

[@igorkotov7780]

Звучит очень аутентично. Это Гендель. Хороший ансамбль, интересное звучание инструментов.

[@helenkozina143]

Моцарт , когда работал над Реквиемом , был явно вдохновлен этим шедевром - и создал свой шедевр , чем-то похожий, но неповторимый

[@anamendez9741]

Beautiful!!

[@sonicfan9588]

Very beautiful

[@flemmingranch8777]

Skøn og herlig musik og korsang. Smukt.....

[@AGMundy]

This is delightful. I particularly enjoy it when it used in its original context in Israel in Egypt (as The sons of Israel do mourn).

[@thosmoody]

The Funeral Anthem was written in December of 1737. It was reworked for Israel In Egypt in 1739.
