Handel: Messiah, HWV 56
"...This is a properly rehearsed Messiah, a real rarity. Everything has been carefully considered and prepared, yet it sounds joyful, spontaneous and musical...The choral tone is surpassingly lovely...Even more remarkable is the way they phrase their lines, which gives the music an unusual sense of purpose. The soloists are amongst the best on record..." -Classic CD Messiah, HWV 56 by George Frideric Handel Performer: Karen Clift (Soprano), Victor Ledbetter (Baritone), Catherine Robbin (Mezzo Soprano), Bruce Fowler (Tenor) Conductor: Martin Pearlman Orchestra/Ensemble: Boston Baroque Period: Baroque Written: 1741; London, England Date of Recording: 05/1992 Venue: Campion Center, Weston Center, Mass Length: 132 Minutes 2 Secs.
