Beautiful.

[magpie4321]

Thank you, Christopher

I'm a member of the Chorus of Westerly, RI, and we're doing this in a months time. The entire Messiah. It's so beautiful, but very challanging.

This features some of the best choral singing one will ever hear in this work, but I largely disagree with Shaw's tempi and overall feel for the work; he doesn't hold a candle to Beecham, Scherchen, or even Solti and Boult in this music.

[jstaudt100]

@billyguns2 Shaw's version are the most precise. Beecham's versions were sloppy- raggedy choral attacks, sluggish tempos at times, and generally unprepared sounding. Watch Beecham conduct - you'll understand why!

You just cannot improve upon Robert Shaw-perfection of choral music!

[frank1eb0y]

@choirsinger123 I think you can improve on this version. And the Glory is too slow..

[latercerapalabra]

Simplemente precioso

thanks

[valisisreal]

This is the very best recording of Handel's Messiah there is. I have heard several others, and none are as awesome as this one. Robert Shaw did an excellent work.

[csheff1014]

I agree with you!

[eileenmaryeileen]

Amen and Amen!
