Winnipeg Symphony’s Messiah reviewed
Pierre Meunier of La Liberté, on Isaiah’s recent performance in Handel’s Messiah with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra:
“The young tenor Isaiah Bell has a perfect voice for the oratorio. He can sing high notes without straining the voice, allowing it to maintain impeccable diction. He does not try to impress. He recited the text with beautiful phrasing which accentuated meaning.”
