Music reviews of Handel - Messiah / Ameling ? A. Reynolds ? Langridge ? Howell ? Marriner

Music Review: Great Recording
Rating: 5 Stars

I enjoy the Messiah more then any other "Christmas" music available. I have heard a number of recordings, but this is one of my favorites. I am a bit biased, but "Since by Man Came Death" is a big determining factor on how the Chorus actually performs. This rendition is amazing. Crystal clear soprano, strong alto, clean tenor, and a powerful bass makes for a great soft & loud sound.

I also prefer this version over the "final" version of the Messiah. The solos are different but much more free and fun. If you are looking to purchase a copy - this is for you.

Description of Handel - Messiah / Ameling ? A. Reynolds ? Langridge ? Howell ? Marriner

Neville Marriner's 1976 account of the Covent Garden version of the score (1743), with the Academy and Chorus of St. Martin-in-the-Fields and soloists Elly Ameling, Anna Reynolds, Philip Langridge, and Gwynne Howell, is positively plush-sounding but nicely animated. I'd love to have this kind of string tone for, say, the Dvor?k Serenade, but for Handel it may be just a bit much. --Ted Libbey
