Being brought up on the expansive large performances of Messiah, such as those with the Huddersfield choral Society, this "leaner" orchestra and chorus just misses the mark for me personally. I like my "Messiah" big and bold. But it is interesting to hear how it may have sounded at its first performance with the limited resources then available. With this sole proviso of smaller forces this was still an enjoyable listen and good to have it on DVD, too. Highly recommended for those who aren't in tune with the bolder versions so popular last century.

Epic performance for 250th Anniversary of Handel's magnificent composition. Excellent Orchestra and Chorus You need to sit down and be prepared for a lengthy rendition as it needs to be listened to with a modicum of patience. Only for the serious classical listener

This is a performance of the very highest standard. The soloists, choristers and orchestra are superb. We've heard parts of Handel's Messiah many times, but this version is refreshing and just lovely. We recommend it very highly.
