Title: As good as it gets! First rate performance for the price.
Product review: This 'Messiah' by Georg Friedrich Haendel done by a 'continental ensemble rather than an English team is every bit as good, and maybe just a bit better than some of the Anglo efforts by Sir Colin Davis and others.Compared to other Handel oratorios, this work is not only the home of the glorious Hallaleujh chorus. From front to back, virtually the entire work has superior choral arrangements, and Handel's choral works are easily his strongest suit.And, the work is recorded by harmonia mundi, which seems to have a talent for superior recordings of sacred works.
