Handel - Messiah (Andrew Parrott) (1989)

Posted By: Ebisu

Date: 2 Sep 2013 10:42:25

This recording is available as a CD set or as part of a boxed set with Israel in Egypt. {BTW - The Parrott led recording of Israel in Egypt is among the finest I've heard.} This Messiah rendition seems familiar - even if you've never heard it before. That's probably due to the slower pacing and the avoidance of dramatic dynamic and tempo changes some conductors prefer. Nonetheless it is an excellent recording! The orchestra is 'spot on'. The soloists [all six of them!] are excellent across the board. But the star of the show is the chorus. They simply nail it. The clarity, precision and wonderful blending of the voices are all superb. The sopranos don't oversing in their high range and the choral balance always seems to be as Handel intended. BTW - I own 9 complete recordings of The Messiah and have sung in more than 40 complete performances. One curious note: this recording along with the Layton/Polyphony/Britten Sinfonia recording offers an abridged version of the Pastoral Symphony; as I enjoy this orchestral work I miss the full 3 minute version. If you want a recording with a lengthy rendtion of the Pastoral Symphony, The Sargent/Royal Liverpool 1959 recording has a 4 1/2 minute version. This Parrott led recording is one you can put into your stereo, sit back in an easy chair, close your eyes and simply revel in what your hear.

Emma Kirkby, soprano
