Handel: Messiah - Famous Choruses
Scholars Baroque Ensemble

[ Naxos / CD ]

Release Date: Monday 30 June 2008

"Of 30 performances I personally own, my favorite is the period performance by the Scholars Baroque Ensemble. A stripped-down orchestra and chorus give an amazingly full-bodied performance of the original 1742 composition."
