Title: Almost perfect
Review: This recording has really grown on me. Lynne Dawson is as wonderful as other reviewers on this page have testified, but the whole performance is excellent. Yes, it is small scale, but that simply adds to the sense of wonder of Messiah's many intimate moments. All the performance lacks is just a little extra punch here and there, that last ounce of excitement - otherwise the orchestra and choir perform with clarity and brightness. A recording well worth getting to know.
