Title: Too boring
Review: Each time when I listened to this recording I almost felt asleep. The voices of the soloists went deeper and deeper most of the time and it's likely that they were not singing Handel's Messiah but Bach's St. Matthew Passion. Better performances from Davis/London Symphony (Philips) and Solti/Chicago Symphony (DECCA) can be found at this site. The orchestration is kind of too powerful in Beecham/Royal Philharmonic's (BMG/RCA) and Ormandy/Philadelphia's (Columbia/Sony) versions. The best Messiah I've ever heard was recorded by Davis/Bavarian Radio Symphony (Philips).
