Music reviews of Handel - Messiah / Harper, Watts, Wakefield, Shirley-Quirk, LSO, C. Davis
Music Review: Loud and proud
Rating: 5 Stars
I've heard a few versions of Messiah but I just can't go past this one. Although it's not 'historical', I believe the spirit is definitely there. So if that's what you want then go for this!
Description of Handel - Messiah / Harper, Watts, Wakefield, Shirley-Quirk, LSO, C. Davis
This 1966 reading from Sir Colin Davis and the London Symphony is a classic. A noble, compassionate interpretation, it represents a very successful melding of the English oratorio tradition with the then-emerging notion of an authentic performance style emphasizing lightness of texture and firm rhythmic underpinning. In its latest incarnation, as a Philips "Duo" offering (two CDs for the price of one), it's an especially good bargain. --Ted LibbeyGeneral CDs
