When I first hear how fast they were playing this, I was really concerned and did not think anyone could humanly keep up. Well she did it.. and flawlessly. Each note is crisp and distinct. Simply incredible!!!

Actually, I wish my orchestra had picked up the pace when I had to perform this, as it is much easier to accomplish at this pace then when it is done slower. I loved to sing along with her on this amazing piece.

I'm just guessing strong her vocal folds are... There's no lagging. She strikes the notes with clarity...
I know it’s fast: I was on stage, in the orchestra. If I’m honest, I was shocked when we first rehearsed, but you know what? - it was electric; it was IN the moment; it was fun. To top it off, she’s an INCREDIBLE singer, and it was a real pleasure to work with Kevin Edusei. I’m incredibly proud of this performance - not just because I think it was “good,” but also because we had a conductor who would ACTUALLY take the risk of a fast tempo; we had a singer who COULD take the risk; we had a collection of fellow musicians to boldly go on that journey with them. Rather than thinking of it as “good, “bad, “right,” “wrong,” how about thinking of it as it is - an approach different to the norm that, regardless as whether one likes it or not, elicits a response.

Agreed. Also, I LOVE it at this tempo-it's a dynamic fresh take on such a classic piece. And let's be honest, music isn't like a museum-it's no one's job to preserve music and keep it immaculate and unevolving. Part of the beauty of live classical music is that it's being interpreted by real people in real-time, and they can bring fresh new ideas to something. Also, that orchestra and Jeanine De Bique sound AMAZING. What a clear delicate sound!

I come back to this performance often because I am completely amazed at both it's precision and energy. As an amateur, I've sung in the chorus of "Messiah" on many occasions and heard a number of variations of this aria. Between soprano Jeanine De Bique and Chineke!, this just worked. I believe that Handel himself would have been immensely pleased!
Her execution of those 16 note runs are impeccable and clear, even top sopranos wobble in those passages
What a stunning voice! Jeanine’s expression and the clarity of her intonation is phenomenal. What I cannot understand is why I have not heard of her before today!

I first heard her in 2005 when my school participated in a choral competition in Austria! She had already graduated but she came back to do a soprano solo. It was so beautiful! She's such an amazing singer ^_^

The drama, the passion, the unsurpassed artistry that Jeanine de Bique brings to Handel's "Rejoice" is without comparison to anyone that has sung it before. She will be remembered for centuries as one of the greatest singers that ever graced humanity with her exquisitely unique virtuosity and talent💫🌟🌟🌟!

With blinding speed and agility, this dynamic artist/vocalist blew the socks off Rejoice. Her tone and the quality of her voice is rich beyond measure. What a pleasure to listen to her sing. Let's hope we hear much more of her brilliance. Brava my sister. Loved looking at the orchestra members behind her marvel at her as she sang - they were pleasantly captured by her stunning virtuosity.
I sing this every year, and THIS is the gold standard in my opinion.
She was born to sing this solo. Absolutely stunning. Probably one of the best performances of this there ever was. Her voice is just so perfect for this music.
An absolutely wonderful performance. It was a wonderful decision for it to be performed faster than most singers can manage. With her extreme virtuosity and confident control of her instrument, singing it at this speed shows off her voice for the blessing it is. Stunning preformance.

Ridiculously too fast! The point of Messiah is to sing the praises of Jesus - not to engage in some vulgar "Trinidad's Got Talent"-style vocal competition! I am not a Christian, fortunately: if I were, this travesty would make me very angry. As it is, I am simply disappointed, though not surprised.

Wow! That was perhaps the best and most awesome performance of Handel’s Rejoice that I have ever heard. Given that Handel himself is reputed to have said after writing the Hallelujah chorus, “I did think I did see all Heaven before me, and the great God Himself.”, I think he might be proud of this performance because Jeanine and Chineke! really lift the biblical text from the page and make it alive which is what the whole Messiah oratorio was about and supposed to do. Well done to all involved in this masterpiece performance!
Her talent, her beauty, her TEETH! So beautiful!! I live for her smile and when she opens her mouth and I see those beautiful teeth! There's nothing like a natural beautiful smile, and she looks so great singing. (not everyone does!)
After a lot of comparsion Ive decided this is really my favourite interpretation. The ornamentation at the end alone, like damn I really do feel like the lord is coming unto me, if ya catch my drift.
My God 🙏! She commanded the orchestra more than the conductor! Beautiful lips, smile, body, which give more energy and meaning to the chorus.🥰🥰🥰
oh, oh. so beautiful, i have tears streaming down my face. twenty years i've sung the messiah, and i'll never be anything like this sumptuous and exquisite.

Terrifying Allergro Vivace tempo, but amazing control of the coloratura passages, and fantastic ornamentation!
The conductor knew what he was doing: he was pushing her to shine, and she did so brilliantly! I’ve never heard this piece performed so quickly and was shocked at the outset at the tempo he chose-but man am I pleased to see her not only keep up with it, but own it!
The voice of this century is now here. Absolutely and undeniably the best I've heard. Congratulations Miss Jeanine, and I look forward to hearing more of you and hopefully see you perform.
