God Bless the people of Ghana. Much love from the UK.

Simply brilliant. A wonderful discovery on You tube.

Handel will be proud, how you mastered his masterpiece song.

This was amazing! You brought together the best of two cultures and nailed it! Amen and God bless!

I'm so proud of my African family. Wow when the choir comes in the heavens open.

Wow, Greetings from Canada. Thank you for a wonderful performance of this great work by Handel. Very well sung and played, Keep up the good work.

Handel could never have dreamed that his music would be so beautifully performed in Ghana. Gorgeous, thank you for such a rousing performance.

Oh my goodness. How wonderful. God bless you all. Such strength. Such intensity! 🙋🇬🇧

I loved it! It’s early in the morning but well I’m awake anyhow.

To the People of Ghana, my deepest respect to yr Country and yr People on the magnificence of this display of singing and music, the Performance is superb: All my respect !! This is too beautiful!!

I do hope you have sent a copy to the King. I expect his office will get it to his desk... this is special.

and, by the way, I don't think there ever was less need for subtitles. Your diction is second to none.

THIS IS OUTSTANDING 🥵🔥!!!! Absolutely brilliant, from beginning to end, well executed 👏🏽🔥🔥

Absolutely exquisite! The best version I’ve ever heard. It’s as if the Holy Spirit endowed them with angelic voices and they were singing to God Hinself!

Another proud Ghana moment. Seeing all the comments about this being the best version of Zadok the priest” they’ve heard is just beyond amazing!

Kukuroko! Ho twa! Ɔsoro de! Thank you from New Zealand.

I wonder if Handel ever imagined that his music would be performed in the middle of Africa without an organ is sight! So powerful. Beautifully done. Congratulations. Thank you from South Africa.

Africa is saving the Church.

This is such a magnificent performance that I can’t help but weep in joy whenever I hear it.

The keyboard players do a solid job. And then that choir comes in and just blows your mind! I’ve been singing in choirs my whole life (in South Africa) and there’s nothing like an African soprano to bring the goods when needed. And of course Ghanaians are just fantastic so this is the perfect video 😄👍🥂 I was smiling from beginning to end!

Breathtaking. Reduced me to tears. It's the first time I've listened to this piece and understood every word. Thank you so much. And I love those shirts🙂

Well! THAT'S how you get a thousand voices in such a small space!!! I thought the best version I'd ever heard was the coronation... until I heard this!!! Please get over to Britain soon, doesn't matter where I'll buy a ticket and come see you!!! I have no words...!!! Thank you

Great !!!

All praise for the talent and discipline it took to achieve this performance. It takes nothing away from that to add that they have a cultural advantage: the vigorously and clearly articulated English that comes out of West African speakers. Had he been alive to hear this, Handel would have been over the moon.

The diction present is uncommonly good. The runs were superb.

Outstanding performance. 👏👏👏

A wonderful performance. Through YT, we have a great opportunity to watch and listen to great performances such as this one.

Black excellence.... Utmost.

Very beautiful and inspiring. I am a professional opera singer and I know the amazing effort you all have put into this performance to make it a musical delight.

An outstanding interpretation of Zadok! Those 'runs' were flawless!! Simply breathtaking.

I"m so delighted about all of these talented singers from this small African country to sing one of my favorite classic song. Wonderful singers with their instruments/trumpets, etc and the way they did it; bravo to all of them.

This was simply fantastic! It goes to show that God’s music goes beyond race. Whoever is with God will be blessed with the joy and beauty of real music.

Great performance! I could even understand the words!

Puissant et majestueux, ce choeur est magnifique !!!!

I think Handel would be absolutely delighted by this exemplary performance of his work. Well done! As an American, the coronation isn't of particular importance to me, but this is glorious music and should be performed frequently.

WHAT A PERFECT PERFORMANCE the tenors run is so difficult but was rendered with such aplomb all voices in the runs were outstanding this is the first time I have heard the choir and what a wonderful introduction the trumpets all instruments were just beautiful to listen to. Thank you angel voices ❤

Imagine that music being performed in the traditional town of Chillingbourne.

I waited a decade for this song to be performed by the Choir!😅 Finally😍 Exquisite is an understatement!! Whew...love love love it!!!

Bravo HCG! Fabulous achievement! It would be bad of me to single out specifics but that won't stop me... 1. The radiant joy on the faces of the Sopranos and Altos 2. The precision and articulation of the Tenors and Basses particularly in the semi-quaver runs. 3. The super tone and accuracy of the trumpeters. 4. The overall sense of drama and engagement 5. The strong enthusiasm and clarity transmitted to the entire ensemble by the conductor. Lots more I could say but I've already said too much so I'll stop.

I haven't heard powerful crisp precise choral work like that in decades,. The crispness and precision first caught my attention with the coral opening at 1;43, again at 3:30s and at each Amen chorus that followed, this is an extraordinarily high standard. well done everybody,. greetings from Australia / John

I saw/heard this choir at a concert last year [broadcast on KZread] and they were fabulous. So glad I have been able to listen to them again, truly a great choir and proof that numbers aren't everything. The keyboard players are possibly even more talented than the singers in that they have the hardest job of all managing to sound like a full orchestra. So glad I found this recording.

Superb! Vivat Rex Carolus! Vivat Regina Camilla!

A fantastic rendition of this classic piece (props to the tenors, beautiful warm tone throughout) - much love from UK ❤❤

So nice to be exposed to the positive parts of Ghana. Often we have stereotypes that are false. Absolutely wonderful. Some states in Africa Ghana Nigeria very conservative. Love to see and hear more. Thank you for a wonderful performance. ❤🇺🇸

Was that amazing and fantastic or what! So beautiful

Wow! Wow!! Wow!!! Accompaniments, Diction, Articulation, Harmony. I accompanied singing of Zadok the Priest on the Organ for the first time in November 1997. This one blows me away. ❤❤❤

This what we call heavenly. Glorious and outstanding performance

Good job! Beautiful voices!❤

Wow they sounded beautiful and majestic! And all the women have such beautiful skin!!!!

WOW.....................How can people sing so beautifully it amazes me

The bass singers. Your mfsmlsfmrmfrsfmrdrmdfsfmrmfr.....was just too distinct. I could hear every note hitting my head. No slurred movements. HC, una well done o. Love for Nigeria.

This took 1000yrs preparations. God bless you Ghana, sm from Nigeria.

Would’ve been such a joy if you’d been invited to Westminster abbey today to sing at the coronation.

First time hearing this song, soo proud ofmy African folks ❤🇯🇲
