I'm cry everytime I hear this love truly love Jesus

[jeffreyjohnsen]

Handel wrote this classic over the course of ONLY three to four weeks during August and September 1741! It was first performed in Dublin, Ireland. What an inspiration to the world that a Savior was born to save us all.

[sflouden]

I AM 77 YEARS OLD, HAVE BEEN TO MANY CONCERTS FOR THIS PRESENTATION...BUT NEVER HAS IT MEANT SO MUCH TO ME AND TOUCHED ME SO DEEPLY. ALL BECAUSE NOT ONLY WAS IT DONE SO WELL BUT HAVING THE WORDS BEFORE ME HELPED ME UNDERSTAND WHAT MY MESSIAH DID FOR ME . EVEN THE MOVIES..WHICH WERE EXCELLENT, NEVER HAVE I FELT IT SO MUCH...THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!

[margebennettrealtor]

Did you notice how many of the singers were smiling. Their joy in our LORD is evident. Absolutely beautiful

[messiahmatrix]

When genius devotes their talents to the Almighty, masterpieces are born.

[cromwell.is.awesome]

The best part off all, is that they sing of not a mere tale, but a true event that the Lord God Almighty, our Lord Jesus Christ fulfilled.

[elizabethgodwin]

Isn't it awesome that we can get stuff like this free on YouTube?

[elizabethkelley]

Greetings, All! I was 25 when I first heard Handel's Messiah in a Church in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA! I was riveted, exalted, uplifted! I lived coast to coast...and I have never gone without a CHRISTMAS immersed in the Messiah! It is GLORY, ITSELF! Philadelphia's orchestra does a fabulously beautiful presentation! But, now going on 82, I light a candle and sing every word from my heart in tears as I listen on You Tube! Love just burst from my heart!
In spite of all the nonsense going on in the world causing such suffering, the Messiah brings the Truth, the Answer, the Hope, the Love, the Glory!
Merry Christmas to all...Blessings on Australia...Ukraine...every country...and my USA...Just LOVE! Gratitude! Thanksgiving! Elizabeth

[marygrant]

How wonderful to be born in a time when this glorious message in magnificent music is available! How grateful also am I for the gift of hearing.

[suzy]

I have heard many performances of this wonderful Oratorio. This is one of the best if not the best in some parts . Listening from Australia. We sure do need heavenly music to lift up of spirits at this time of global darkness and madness . This is heavenly escapism at its best . God bless all involved . Thank you so much ❤️🙏

[irvplotkin]

Handel’s victory over death was his Messiah. Many thanks Handel.

[christelrier-klaverweide]

Handel must have written this masterpiece under devine inspiration. This performance is fantastic! Bravo!

[marylee]

I am not a crier, but from the first notes of "Comfort ye..." I am in tears. Beautiful.

[hpu]

Praise the Lord! Wish all who watched and listens to the video changed their life!

[lindaosland]

My wife took out her score from 60 years ago and we sang along with the chorus all the while tears flowed. Thank you for this moving video.

[chardilbert]

Handel was truly inspired to write this beautiful music! Thank you God!

[joolz]

I cry too. It is the most beautiful sacred music straight from heaven. And gifted to the amazing musicians who play this so magnificently. Handel was touched by God when he wrote this.He even said so. We have no idea the awesomeness of our God. Today is Christmas Eve. Have a very blessed Christmas everybody!

[ElaineSaxton]

❤I love The Messiah. Back in1958 I gave the album, to my dad for Christmas had no idea how it would effect. Him. He was overwhelmed ! Many years have passed now l still listen and praise my Lord. And Savior.

[hd]

I hope when I die and go to heaven I will hear the chorus of angels singing this to me for eternity.

[solomonsetswe]

Handel s Messiah remains my most profound admirable classical composition
