Music reviews of Handel: Messiah / Harwood, J. Baker, Esswood, Tear, Herincx; Mackerras

Music Review: Invigorating!
Rating: 5 Stars

I have to say, Messiah is one work I have sung in so often I nearly have come to hate it. I have sung in very Victorian Pompous versions, Mozart Orchestration versions, authentic versions with modern instruments, and authentic with Baroque instruments. I have to admit, this is not a work I would walk very far to see or hear again. I have taken part in so many authentic versions with their *Hooty* vibratoless nazal screeches, boys choirs, etc that I thought I would never find a recording that I could stomach.

Well, was I surprised! I thoroughly enjoyed this recording. I loved the *new music* taken from Handel's many variations of the work ( and for those who don't know, he never did decide which version was his definitive version ). I loved the thoughtful reflection of the soloists, and the evident joy they are feeling singing the work. Like the other reviewer, this is a truly under-rated recording, and that really shouldn't be. It offers so much in the way of life, and so much in the way of expression. And if one thinks carefully about it, it is about a very moving and wonderful subject matter -- The Life of Christ. One is made to believe these performers actually care about That fact more than just doing Handel justice, and that is a nice thing to hear.
