5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Recording & Bargin, January 4, 2000

By 

J. James Phillips (Lake Jackson, Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Handels Messiah (Audio CD)

This 2 CD set is a great buy. For me Messiah must have a harpsichord, Baroque orchestration, expressive soloists (including a real deep bass), and a chorus that you can understand the words. This recording has all of this and more. The soprano, tenor and alto are also excellent. The orchestration is great and the recording is crisp. The balance between voices and orchestra is well done. I can't believe the quality of this set for such a low price. I am throughly enjoying listening to it (and singing along).

This would make a fine gift.

This review is from: Handel - Messiah / Kweksilber · Bowman · P. Elliott · Reinhart · The Sixteen · Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra · Koopman (Audio CD)

The previous review, written in Spanish, is not a review of this item!! The Spanish reviewer is reviewing the Madacy label edition featuring the Orlando Orchestra. This item is on a different label and features the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra!
