Highlights from the Messiah

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
You would think that everyone in the world owned a copy of Messiah by now, and that there would certainly be no need to record new ones very year. Wrong! Here's DG's 1997 entry, and it's a fine one too. The only reservation is the recorded sound, which seems to be somewhat congested at the climaxes, as though the chorus and orchestra were recorded in differing acoustic spaces. Otherwise, this is as fine an "authentic" performance as we're likely to get. --David Hurwitz --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

5 out of 5 stars 'MESSIAH' FOR DUMMIES.......2005-10-31

Exquisite choral music highlighting 10 of the most familiar music from Handel's "Messiah". As a crash course to Handel's lengthy masterpiece, it truly highlights the essence of it's religious and secular nature. Vocals are full-bodied and lush, and the orchestra is subdued and powerful.
