A MESSIAH VERSION WITH A CLASSICAL CROSSOVER BEAT, October 30, 2008
This review is from: Handel's Young Messiah (Audio CD)
FOR THOSE CONNOISSEURS THAT PREFER SOMETHING UNUSUAL-CLASSICAL PIECES WITH A POP BEAT TRY THIS UNUSUAL VERSION OF MESSIAH PERFORMED BY A YOUNGER GROUP OF TALENTED ARTISTS. IT HAS NICE CHORUS MUSIC & NICE CONNECTIONS TO THE CHORUS PIECES. WHAT IS DIFFERENT IS THAT IT DOES NOT SOUND OPERATIC-IT USES POP VOICES & SWAPS PARTS--A TENOR SINGS WHAT WAS A SOPRANO'S PART & VICE VERSA. THE GREAT PIECE IS THAT DONE ON THE TRUMPETS SHALL SOUND-DONE BY A BASS VOICE, & A I BELIEVE SUNG BY AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN. IT HAS GREAT JAZZY TRUMPET & WHAT A WAY TO SING IT. ALSO WHAT'S GOOD IS THOU THAT TELLEST GOOD TIDINGS TO ZION, THE HALLELUJAH, THE FINALE, THE GLORY OF THE LORD. EXCELLENT IMPROVISATION. THIS GROUP ALSO DOES SOUL VERSIONS OF MESSIAH.

A good variation..., January 8, 2008
This review is from: Handel's Young Messiah (Audio CD)
While the original version of Handel's Messiah is a profound work of art, I find this rhythmic arrangement quite relaxing and entertaining.
