Free Music Review: Best version available
Hit: 5 Stars
This is the best recording ever made of Messiah. Don't listen to people who say that some of the soloists aren't the best. Everything about this recording is the unsurpassed; the sound quality, soloists, chorus and orchestra.
Handel: Messiah Poster
The Bach Collegium Japan has proved itself in Bach cantatas, but Messiah is as sacred a musical cow as Anglo-Saxons have. Don't be skeptical, though: these Japanese musicians are the equal of any anglophone group. In fact, this performance's only serious weakness is its English soloists: tenor John Elwes and bass David Thomas are admirable artists who have seen better days. The Japanese soloists fare better: Midori Suzuki has an agile, youthful (sometimes fragile) soprano; countertenor Yoshikazu Mera's excellent coloratura and eloquent delivery compensate for any lack of vocal heft. Masaaki Suzuki's choir and orchestra perform with clarity, warmth, excellent English diction, and a sense of wonder not heard since Hogwood's 1980 recording. Messiah-manes may want to program their CD players to mix Suzuki's chorus with, say, Hogwood's or Christie's soloists. --Matthew WestphalClassical Music CDs
