When people go to a performance of Messiah, they all go for the Hallelujah chorus, when I go to such a performance, THIS is the piece i am waiting for!
Mr. Sly is one of the greatest singers of our time; I am amazed at his perfection in all kinds of classical singing: opera, oratorio and song. This is rare among young singers.
I just listened to him doing a piece imitating Elvis perfectly and before it he did an interview IN FRENCH!!! I don't know if I've ever heard someone French speak English so perfectly, maybe due to . Usually I hear a thick accent, but not him; he speaks English better and more precisely than most for whom it's their native tongue. WOW! Fantastic.
I really love this interpretation. It’s so rhetorical, I almost imagine a philosopher asking this question. It’s adroitly sung and communicated. Very good performance, IMO.
With this excellent voice technique, one can easily do all what the music and score demands with ease and get the intention of Mr Handels score forward to the audience. Bravo Philippe-Sly-Minstrel. You are one of the best there is now! Regards from a tenor in Norway.
And especially at that breakneck tempo. How? Because Mr. Sly has a really great voice, that he's trained to function cleanly and expressively. AND he's learned a correct Baroque performance style. Check out his Bach performances too!
What our mostly spiritually dead age doesn't realize, being thus deaf and blind, is that Philippe Sly is a rare, fantastically gifted, prophetic seer into unknown, unseen realms whose voice is God's chosen instrument to convey that to those few who can hear him. His amazing, masterful command of language and voice is utterly, terrifyingly glorious. Even he mistakenly attributes to luck his gift as God's chosen vessel (of course including hard work by him), God bless him.
It's comments like this that make me think there is some joke going on about worshipping this guy. I can't tell if it's all a sarcastic joke, if he paid someone to generate these comments, or if these are all authentic reviews
Orquestra maravilhosa e o andamento melhor ainda, pois não tem aquele jeito antigo/ultrapassado muito lento de se fazer música barroca e prefiro sempre a música mais movida pra frente e alegre, além de que os cantores e as cordas da orquestra agradecem o tempo mais rápido da música... 😀
The truth is awesome! The voice is magnificent. The orchestra director is marvelous. The orchestra beyond words… Keep shining with music that glorifies Jesus, the ONLY eternal King. All man kings are full of vanity, pride and are pretty much lost souls.
Goosebumps: articulation, enunciation, musicality. Glimpses of the rapt attention of the audience tells it all. So now you are on the top of my list for effective performances of this aria agitato ( including the several of my own :-) Bravi Tutti. rjs
Does anyone know if You Tube has the entire Messiah by the Trinity Wall Street Baroque Orchestra. I cannot seems to find it. I really like Philippe Sly. I've been told b;y reliable sources that he is actually an alto Bass and not a Bass Baratone. All I know is that he gives an amazing performance in the Messiah. This is actually the first time I've accessed his performance in the Messiah.
El metal de la voz de Sly es adictivo, escucho otras versiones de otros barítono y sus voces no me convencen. Sly tiene una voz realmente bonita y enérgica.
It is in Psalm 2; they don't want to be held morally accountable and resent a Holy God. They rebel against Him: "The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us." They hate the Father and the Son. It happens every day but will crystallize in full a cross the globe. Psalm 2 indicates happens when they do: Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way" It is a wonderful Psalm only fully understood in light of Jesus death on the cross and rising from the dead.
