- "Where'er You Walk" from George Frideric Handel's "Semele."
Sung by Jan Peerce with the orchestra of the Vienna State Opera conducted by Hans Schwieger. Recorded for Westminster Gold in 1962.
The exquisite beauty of Jan Peerce's voice and the haunting beauty of Handel's composition makes this a glorious and unique experience. Classical music at its best!
Magnificent! There's a brightness yet reverence in his interpretation. His technique is from the "old school." More of Jan Peerce please.
This song makes me so happy, his voice just makes me even more happy. I can hear him smiling.
This is the strongest version i have heard . Every word is understandable.
i truly love this version..what a voice!!
Oh what a voice!
This singer deserves much more attention - his voice is so supported, in the "right place." He has a brain and it shows. An all round vocal athlete but also thinking. This is one of great vocal accomplishments on RUclips. And I am a snob! I'll admit it!
The measure of this song is from 1:07 - 1:21
Not many can do it beautifully in one breath, and at the right reverent tempo.
This gentleman absolutely nailed it. One of the best renditions I’ve heard.
A lovely theatrical rendition enunciated such that each sung word is understood...
I can only say beautiful!
Oh! Heavenly beautiful voice, you know Leopold Stokowski's golden trumpet.
jewish sacred singing has given us so many singers...from Al Jolson to Jan Peerce
One of my favorites. Great rendition, and even better that it's in stereo sound.
Very nice, thanks for posting
nice song. great voice of singer and cantor
Déchirant! Splendide . Quel regard!
Beautiful, bravo
@damedesmontagnes You are absolutely right - his happiness and love of singing makes me happy too. What a voice!
Marvelous!!!
Beautiful*****
@seektheforce: I see what you mean, but I love his bright, triumphant interpretation.
Peerce was Toscanini's favorite tenor and you can hear why-Breath control , diction and phrasing. He was also a Bach singer formed the Bach Aria group in the 1950s and had great singers such as Eileen Farrell singing Bach. Before becoming a singer he was a professional orchestral violinist-- In his time he was the greatest Don Octavio in Don Giovanni , the Duke in Rigoletto etc also sang as a cantor in synagogues
Wondrous ! xxxxxxx
Lovely! Also listen to Leontine Price singing this - beautifully nuanced.
The best, in the original Bflat
I love singing this aria, but Jan Peerce did it much better!
Ian pierce le croyant , ce se sent . Quelle puissance et quel souffle
This is the best breath control in the longer passages that I have heard to date and this at a slower tempo than the more modern versions. It is such a shame when passages are broken when the singer runs out of puff!
If you check the score, you will see that the passages in question are broken up by the composer! Many singers choose to ignore the rests. Others observe the rests. They have not run out of breath.

@@brookeggleston9314 It certainly sounds like it in comparison.
@@edwardkerrigan5356 The score is available on utube.🌹
Compare with the version by Richard Lewis. Incidentally..a chasan is a cantor in the Jewish faith...services said by the rabbi and sung by the cantor...orthodox and conservative branches. Reformed often have choirs and sometimes organ music.
There is also a very fine version by Webster Booth.
Fun.
This is Handel not Puccini!!!!
Exactly. But a fine effort none the less.
You're right. Stylistically it's wrong. But, vocally it's Perfect.
Pardon my ignorance of the Jewish faith but what is a chasan?
@seektheforce If compares to the gutless, anemic, and quite frankly boring renditions you might hear today, sure. Is this a problem?
Sorry all those who find such beauty in this - I have to agree 100% with the comment of Domhnullbeag.
Well, then I guess I'd better stop enjoying it as much as I have until now! But Is it an instance of "the curse of knowledge" or simply "de gustibus non est disputandum"?
Beautiful voice, but he cannot sing Handel like Puccini or Verdi. No.
He didn't!!!
🔥💜🔥
Why should Handel not be sung in this fashion? To my ears anyway it sounds just as acceptable as the more traditional, terribly English, terribly polite style usually associated with it. Anyway singers sing with the voice they have been given - Peerce could no more sound like say Anthony Rolfe Johnson than he could sound like Peerce.
Great voice, wonderful diction, but I find this rendition too plodding and, at times, too declamatory.
You don't think Semele would submit to his desires after this?
@@patdaley9098 Really! He made her a offer she just *couldn't* refuse!!!
🔥💜🔥
Anemic. Not as good as Nelson Eddy or John McCormick.
Do not use Nelson Eddy /John McCormick for your negative thoughts. All knows you will never ever listen to them but to use them.
"Anemic" 🤣🤣🤣that's a first for Peerce.. you're sitting on your ears. You want "anemic" listen to any current tenor sing this.
Anemic it ain't.
Oh what a voice!
