Customer Reviews of Handel: Messiah
(Highlights from) A rather different Messiah Regrettably, someone has scanned the back cover instead of the front of the CD; if they had done the front (a pox on those silly RCA jewel-cases) they would have shown that it is a selection of highlights from Sir Thomas Beecham's famous Royal Philharmonic performance of the Messiah.
In stark contrast to the present-day tradition of performing this work with a fairly typical baroque orchestra (small-around 30 players and anything from just 4 to maybe 15 voices) or a baroque festival orchestra (a little larger?), this lushly re-orchestrated sumptuous-sounding performance is one of the best of the genre.
At a modest price, this recording has much to offer, and I wouldn't trade my copy for anything. "I know that my redeemer Liveth" is almost painfully romantic, and there are other little gems, as well as suprising little disappointments. It is generally beautifully performed, with practically no rough spots.
