Customer Reviews

Excellent Recording

This is one of the finest versions of Handel’s "Messiah" currently available. John Eliot Gardiner does not utilize a large-scale orchestra or chorus and his speeds tend to be light and fast. The soloists and chorus sing very well and are of high caliber. Those looking for a high quality performance and a great recording, look no further.

Messiah the way it was intended

If you're looking for a massive chorus with a huge sound keep looking. If you want a beautiful sound for a chorus the size Handel intended, this is the album for you. Messiah was commissioned by a community chorus in Dublin. Handel wrote it for a chorus of around 30 singers. Tastes in music changed in subsequent years to favor more and more singers until we now have hundreds of singers which can make a dramatic and stirring timbre. Consistent with other recordings from Gardiner, the English Baroque Soloists and the Monteverdi Choir, this recording strives for a more historically accurate interpretation.

Gardiner is a genious!!!

I've heard many versions of Handel's Messiah, but this one is by far the best one ever!! John Eliot Gardiner is the best!!!
