    What a powerful Hallelujah from such a small ensemble. And a boys/mens choir. It doesn't get more original than this. Beautiful crisp sound.

    Irrespective of one's individual religious perspective, that is one great performance of a timeless classic treasure of western music.

    Get chills every time listening to this. A glimpse of heaven!!!
  • This music is timeless and I can not wait to sing it 'in-person' to my wonderful Lord, Savior, and King, Jesus!
  • I have said before: the best and greatest master pieces in arts (music, painting, literature and whatever you may think) have been dedicated to God and his creation. The Handel's Messiah is the most beautiful piece of music that has ever been written and performed in mankind history. It's thrilling specally when it's performed by a fantastic Choir such as King's College's. Beautiful!!!

    Praise Jesus Christ, The Messiah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! King of Kings, Forever and ever, Lord of Lords! Wonderful Counselor. The meaning is so clear in Isaiah and Handel put it to music.

    God bless the Christian people in these difficult times. Stand firm and hold the trust that Jesus Christ is our Lord, King, and Savior. Through him we triumph! Stand up my brothers and sisters and declare this victory, "Hallelujah".
  • I'm glad there's at least one other person listening who appreciates good music when they hear it; an excellent performance from a first rate choir
