Boston Baroque - "Comfort Ye" from Handel's Messiah with Thomas Cooley 

The best performances you don't even notice and the meaning shines through.

Amaizing glory to God

Beautiful, breathtaking voice!!😮

Love his ornamentations!!

Born to sing Handel

Wonderful! I love how he starts without vibrato and then adds it at the end of the phrase

Amen

What a great tenor singer of pure and high clarity texture?

Love how Thomas ornaments these two pieces. Engaging and controlled performance. Thank you 🙏

une des plus belles voix de ténor au monde! Merci Monsieur Cooley

Herrlicher Gesang und himmlisch schöne Musik, danke...Ich 🌻❤️👏🙏

That voice though!

Thank you Isaiah and Handel and a wonderful performance. Kudos to Thomas Cooley.

Heavenly. Thank you so much for posting this performance.

Great! These excerpts from the Handel's Messiah are really amazing. Thank you Boston Baroque for the many beautiful emotions you give us.

So beautiful orchestra and Mr Cooley. 👏

Очень благодарна!!!

Excelente interpretación Mr Cooley, soberbia orquesta una verdadera joya.

Probably the best rendition.

This recording made me realize how oratorio singing differs from opera singing! Thomas Cooley is great! I can imagine the ideal soloists of this oratorio today: alto - Jakub Józef Orliński; soprano - Fatma Said; tenor - Thomas Cooley; baritone bass - Philippe Sly.

Una auténtica maravilla. Mr. Cooley, canta usted como entiendo que se debe cantar Händel, con un estilo puramente barroco. Su interpretación es toda sentimiento.

Lubię Tomka. Wygląda jak menel. Jak śpiewa, to miło, bardzo miło. Czysta przyjemność. Dziękuję i pozdrawiam.

👏👏👏👏👏

👏👏👏♥️💕

Quite earnest singer

"Comfort Ye" (from Handel's Messiah) "Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned. The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness; prepare ye the way of the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God." (Isaiah 40: 1-3) Ev'ry valley shall be exalted, and ev'ry moutain and hill made low; the crooked straight and the rough places plain." (Isaiah 40: 4)

Otra forma de interpretación. Buen manejo de la dinámica haendeliana. Nunca había escuchado este tipo de variaciones. La duda es la siguiente: admite Haendel hacer variaciones o exige rigor a lo escrito en la pauta para cada cantante?

ok.

Is there a better tenor, if there is let him step forward

SLOW DOWN! It's meant to be stately and striding, not rushing to catch a bus!!!!!!

I don't like great masters re written
