Very beautiful duet. Thank You very much.

Beautiful duet, the loving interaction between the two singers gives another layer of meaning to the lyrics and an added pleasure to listen and to watch. And what an interesting video, with the London embankment, a modern setting. P.S. People, check out the version with Amanda /Forsythe & Thomas Coole too, it's gorgeous..

Si, la vi, pero se escucha el sonido con un extraño eco.

Yes, I agree, a superb performance. But now listen to the version by Lucy Crowe and Mark Padmore.

Great video. It's amazing how well this music sits in this modern turn of the century urban setting. The wonderful soloists have much to take credit for too.

Just beautiful .

Вони прекрасні! Коли люди співають Генделя, вони схожі на богів.

Absolutely gorgeous performance by both vocalists, and ensemble! I found the clip comes from a DVD titled A Night With Handel, and have ordered my copy, thank you for sharing this.

Most beautiful music

Une superbe réalisation !!

What is great about this video is that what is arguably the best duet that Handel ever composed is brought into a modern setting by two wonderful singers and it survives the modern setting so well

Heavenly

美妙的二重唱

I find this beautiful piece by Handel so much in need of being listened to in our world of populism and disrespect for the Truth.

As steals the morn upon the night, And melts the shades away: So Truth does Fancy's charm dissolve, And rising Reason puts to flight The fumes that did the mind involve, Restoring intellectual day. (from Shakespeare, The Tempest) translation into Portuguese: Assim como a aurora vai entrando pela noite E derretendo as sombras Assim também a Verdade dissolve o encanto da Fantasia, E a Razão que se levanta põe em fuga A fumaça que antes envolvia a mente, Restaurando o dia intelectual

HWV 55 . É uma.cantata de Haendel. L'Allegro.

C'était en 66,, juste la magie. , Arlette ou es tu maintenant

As Steals the Morn is definitely NOT about two lovers who've been up all night.... Romantic tosh.

Thank you,Tim, for giving me the stimulus to think a little further than I had done. At first it seems as though the poem is saying that rationality disperses fantasy, and that settles things correctly. But that leaves out something. The dawn disperses fantasy . . . And the evening steals over the day and reinstates fantasy. We need both intellectual clarity and emotional response to live life fully. The two lovers have found their emotional closeness while walking through the night, they now can add intellectual clarity as they try to build a life. Their ability to switch back and forth where appropriate is important.

The words resonate with the Age of Enlightenment, Newton was still within living memory when this was written. Classical physics had heralded the dawn of a new era, where everything would be deterministic and there was no room, or need, for intuition or emotion. They would not have known that, two hundred years later, philosophers such and Popper and Ayer would directly challenge the basis of most theoretical physics developed after 1930 on the grounds that it cannot be falsified and therefore no longer meets the test of being developed around empirical fact. These two lovers speak of the certainty of a rational world, a giant mechanism created by God yet, in the view of a substantial number of physicists, particle physics is now in much the same fog that classical physics was prior to Newton. I think it is entirely appropriate to connect the poem to love, which endures forever, even though my passion has always been mathematics, the purest form of logic.

This song is profound, and many of us have found it has prompted many questions, some of which are beyond me. Very powerful and most glorious, typical Handel.

Musical people tend to dismiss Handel as a poor shadow of JS Bach. Music demonstrated here shows a beauteous melodic line supported by simpler harmonic structure so as not to get in the way of the beauty of the duet. One is not greater than the other. Each has a genius to create rapturous beauty in different ways..

Germans = Genius at music..It took a German born to compose these beautiful pieces in Britain...Thanks to Handel and. his genius for this piece...while the Brit rascals were busy invading people who posed no danger to them, the German genius composed beautiful songs..
