5.0 out of 5 stars Handel's Young Messiah, October 5, 2004

I've worn out two copies already, October 2, 2004
I love all types of music, from opera to pop. I love this CD so much I listen to it over and over from November to January every year. The holidays wouldn't be the same without it. I tote them around so much I wore out one copy and somehow lost my last one somewhere, but I've been heartsick ever since without my favorite Christmas CD. This is one of those CD's that makes you feel like you're in another world. This apparently is not for "purists" so only try it if you have an open mind and enjoy the beauty of music in all it's forms. This is the only "classical" type music I own that my teenagers don't roll their eyes at. I am glad I found it still for sale at Amazon.com. I hope they never stop selling it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Upbeat and uplifting, December 6, 2005

This review is from: Handel's Young Messiah (Audio CD)

I have enjoyed this CD for over 15 years. I now find that I have to order another copy since mine is completely worn out. I have loaned it to friends over the years who have subsequently gone and bought their own copies. It's great to hear the master's works done in a different way so as to really make one think about what you are listening to and enjoying. If you are not a purist, give this upbeat version a listen.
