Title: Sacred turned profane
Review: Review of Handel's Messiah (Blu Ray)I have owned several recordings of Handel's Messiah starting with an LP (Vinyl discs) recording through cassette tape, CD and DVD. Recently my son purchased this Blu-Ray version from Amazon and gave it to me for my birthday.I was very disappointed. To me this is a sacred oratorio, but to my mind what I saw was vulgar.Even in the parts that were not vulgar, the acting was distracting so you could not concentrate on the meaning of the lyrics.I gave it 2 stars because the singing itself was good. This recording should be heard but not seen! I will not recommend it to anyone.If you are buying this oratorio for the first time get the 250th performance version (ASIN: B0000AKGUW).Elisha Tikasingh
