Free Music Notes for Handel - Messiah / Nelson, Kirkby, Watkinson, Elliott, Thomas, AAM, Hogwood
Free Music Review: The Best Ever
Hit: 5 Stars
It is rare to find a recording which can be called a "definitive" recording of one of the world's great works. This recording of Messiah is not only a definitive recording, it is the definitive recording of this masterpiece of Handel. The only thing I could possibly say against it is that it's so good, no other version measures up to it, and I find myself always comparing other performances against it now. None that I have heard comes close.
Handel - Messiah / Nelson, Kirkby, Watkinson, Elliott, Thomas, AAM, Hogwood Poster
This is the Messiah that started it all--the first period instrument performance recorded with a choir of men and boys. It introduced music lovers the world over to Christopher Hogwood, Emma Kirkby, and a whole host of performers who have since become ubiquitous as the "English Early Music Mafia," appearing as they do under zillions of different ensemble names on a variety of labels. Hogwood's performance still holds its own, however, as one of the finest and freshest available. A first-rate effort. --David HurwitzClassical Music CDs
