Handel's Messiah is increasingly performed in authentic Baroque style and with period techniques, and this version by conductor Anders Öhrwall, the Stockholm Bach Choir, and the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra falls in line with the trend. While there is no clear indication that the instruments are anything but modern, the orchestral sound is imbued with a glossy string sound and transparent textures supported by a basso continuo that includes both harpsichord and organ, and the choir's scaled-down size gives it the transparency associated with Baroque choral singing. The free use of ornamentation, particularly in the repeated sections, also puts this in the period practice category, and the brilliant performances by soprano Yvonne Kenny, countertenor Paul Esswood, tenor Martyn Hill, and bass Magnus Lindén are tasteful in the use of such decoration. The orchestral arrangement by Öhrwall is not too far from the norms for historically informed practice, and his fleshing out of the continuo part with interesting counterpoint is a welcome addition. But the most significant aspect of the performance that makes it a success is the lightness of tone that Öhrwall maintains through bright timbres, brisk tempos, and crisp accentuation. While Messiah often runs the risk of becoming too weighty or solemn, this fleet presentation sustains interest and never becomes tiresome.–Blair Sanderson
