#NewYorkNotes @NYPhil HANDEL’S MESSIAH HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BY WHOM YOU KNOW @ManhattanPeachy @louisealdersop #LouiseAlder #Soprano Absolutely Superlative!

It's not who you know, it's WHOM YOU KNOW and we know the New York Philharmonic, an organization that pursues our philosophy of #EverToExcel. A bastion of civility in the chaos of New York, the New York Philharmonic has again proven it's essential in the holiday season especially for quality living with its enduring classic rendition of Handel's Messiah.

New York hasn't had such a great Messiah since 1994 when Mark Messier guaranteed The Stanley Cup.

Peachy guarantees you will love NY Phil's Handel's Messiah.

Handel's Messiah was brilliantly performed in the height of sophistication with its artful presentation throughout and a classic is made new again. We had not realized that it was originally composed in Dublin by Handel, and as we are proud to be Irish as well as American, that made us love it even more. The precision, the nuances, the annunciation and the absolutely exquisite performances of each component of the Philharmonic make this program a winner and it also makes a great gift for the person that has everything.

The Chorus sounded angelic in every note and left the audience with a floating feeling of goodwill towards all, which is exactly what this world needs. Handel's Messiah is an amalgamation of the quintessential essence of what makes the holiday season most special in Manhattan.

Louise Alder in particular was most standout with her soprano skills, hitting all the high notes both literally and figuratively. Also, she has an amazing green dress. Singing with striking conviction, Alder leaves you with a pronounced sense of peace as she gloriously massages your ears with authenticity of emotion. Also, the drums and horn section at the end of Act Two was particularly extraordinary.

Bask in the talent.

Rejoice in the season.

Prioritize the New York Philharmonic.

HANDEL’S MESSIAH is Highly Recommended by Whom You Know!

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
