Title: My first "complete" Messiah
Review: This was given to me as a birthday gift on vinyl in the late 70's. I found Audio Spectrum's 1987 CD release in a Salvation Army thrift store a few years ago and snapped it up. For all the differences between the many recordings of this work (and there are SO many worth giving at least one listen), this one is my favorite. Probably for all of the same reasons already stated by other posters here. I noticed that the sound quality on the CD is markedly improved over the vinyl release. I'd love to hear from anyone who can compare Audio Spectrum's disc with this Madacy one. After having purchased a few of their video offerings, I'm a little leary.
Is the review positive or negative?
