Georg Friedrich Händel: Messiah .

Handel endowed his oratorio Messiah with a theatrical, even operatic dimension. He took the genre’s original, Italian form and enriched it with fantastic choral settings, that enthrall audiences to this day. As musicians with equal experience and expertise on the concert podium and in the theatre, William Christie and Les Arts Florissants are the performers of choice for this masterpiece.
