About This Song
About "Der Messias, HWV 56, Pt. 1: No. 5, So spricht der Herr" by Berliner Symphoniker
In 'So spricht der Herr' from Messiah, Handel gives divine authority a human warmth. The Berliner Symphoniker supports a voice that speaks with both comfort and command, the orchestral textures glowing like stained glass—a moment of solemn promise before the drama unfolds.
