Binge-watching all the YT performances of this movement. This is my favourite, just ahead of Ainsley/Mannion, as the tenor is superb, owning the long rising phrase to perfection, (what unimproveable dotted rhythms!) and the swaying oboist mesmerises at the start.
Beautiful ! Both voices are gorgeous. Although not known, the whole music of "L'Allegro, il Moderato and Penseroso" of Haendel is a masterpiece of beauty, love and tenderness.
Very good singing for both soprano and ténor. One of the best version l’ve heard. But the orchestra ? Modern celli, not a baroque bassoon ? I don’t understand….
Good playing and smashing singing … BUT! Why use scores ? Surely when you’re given such an opportunity you should learn it, get your heads up and be heard rather than singing to a folder or an iPad.
I agree that the ideal performance is memorized. Due to the nature of this degree, we learn a lot of music in a short amount of time. At the time we were performing concerts weekly so sadly not enough time to memorize pieces. Hopefully in the future!
@@michaelhudetz Fully understand the context and even some (lazy superstars) use scores, BUT as a former agent and opera director, all I can say is that you lose an audience when not singing directly to them. Eyes up, even with a score. oh and by the way, memorised has a Z in America, not the UK. You don't know which prospective agents or employers are watching these videos, so factor that score holding into your agreement to sign away your rights to having Global viewing when you reflect that it wasn't optimal. Sometimes it's ok to say, "no". I repeat, smashing singing. All best with your career.
Singers use the 'folders' both to reflect their own voice back to them and then to redirect it towards the upper-space between them and their audience. Watch how they subtley move their 'folders' at certain times to carry their voice forwards. Remember, aincent musicians did not have the comfort of modern acoustics.
@@stephendahl3034 I don’t even know where to start in responding to your highly questionable response about using folders to reflect a voice. I was a producer at Decca records. Your statement is risible.
@jamesa0330 I can tell you’re a lonely person, you should try to channel your time in to more positive expression. You can always politely say you prefer when singers don’t use sheet music, and then just leave it at that.
If you think they dance, check out the Jussen Brothers playing piano together. They really move about and can look comical despite being great players.
