GEORGE FREDERICK HANDEL (February 23 1685 , Halle - April 14 1759 , London ) German-born composer, achieved fame in England. In a period dominated by Italian musicians, Handel wrote popular operas in Italian, as well as instrumental works. Later, he composed oratorios in English, including his masterpiece The MESSIAH, which was given a commemorative performance in Westminster Abbey in 1784.
This is one of the more unusual performances of "Messiah". Like many it takes a little getting used to. But the effort as always is rewarding. The recording on the Linn label is good too. This one on Harmonia Mundi is one of their best yet.
Questo capolavoro ti risveglia l'anima da quanto bello e armonioso
