Something you will rarely hear in the concert hall: perhaps once in every 10,000 performances of "Messiah". Is it 10,000 times less worthy of performance?
@@peterexner728 No, Handel’s oratorios were conceived in English and are best left to them in exactly the same way Wagner is best left to Germans. (And similarly, some things Italian and French are best left to Italians and French). That said, if you enjoy Handel’s English oratorios sung by Germans, or the operas of Wagner sung by English groups, that’s a personal choice and no business of mine. Samson of course is an oratorio, not an ‘opera’ as suggested by @warjacare.
This is a priceless gift! I thank you from the bottom of my heart - a necessary and much wanted tribute to the composer who moves me above all others... Thank you, thank, thank you!
One of the best performances on RUclips.
And just a word on the use of the soloists in the chorus... sublime!
Superb performance out of this world! Marvelous Handel masterwork!
This was the most wonderful performance of the Samson Oratorio that I have ever seen. Superb, superb performance!
Wonderful performance. Thank you so much. A great resource for Handel lovers living outside London.

What an incredibly noble and blessed project - thank you all involved
An amazing work by Handel wonderfully performed. The part where Handel/Samson pull down the edifice is especially stupendous!
Only English can perform Handel's operas with perfection.
An German !

The Vaclav Luks version of Messiah (RUclips name: "G. F. Handel: Messiah HWV 56 (fantastic performance)") is pretty awesome IMO.
only french can make croissants, only italians can cook pasta, only americans can play basketball...
Marvelous. God bless the musicians. You're mesengers of angel's voices.
Magnificent music, voices, and orchestra! It's such a treat to see and hear such a performance.
I smile, as I watch! Fantastic!
Wonderful, thank you for sharing. Especially the 'Total Eclipse' aria is probably the best version I have ever heard - so tender.
