Free Music Notes for Handel: Messiah / Harwood, J. Baker, Esswood, Tear, Herincx; Mackerras
Free Music Review: Without Rival or Equal
Hit: 5 Stars
This is an extraordinary performance of Handel's inexhaustible masterpiece. The edition used (by Basil Lam) is like no other - in every way wonderfully over the top: banks of oboes and bassons, deliciously unlikely versions of certain items and a confection of ornamentation from the extremely fine group of soloists (though Robert Tear is less than an ideal comforter in his opening number). The small, but not too small, choir sing like angels and the whole thing bounds along with life and feeling and sensitivity and joyfulness - as the mood demands. In many ways this version has no rival and no equal. A wonderful success!
