Negative Positive
Title: Highly polished Eurotrash!
Review: I wonder if I saw the same performance as the other four ecstatic reviewers? Yes, we are told from the beginning that the libretto was ". . . by Charles Jennens, after the Holy Bible," and then that this was a "Staged version by Claus Guth, Konrad Kuhn and Christian Schmidt."The vulgar, modern overlay of the "staged version" is positively embarrassing -- and I'm not even Christian. If any Christians happen to read this review, my advice is to buy some other version of the Messiah -- probably ANY other version.(Yes, I purchased my disc from Amazon.)
Is the review positive or negative?
