Format:Audio CD
I've heard recordings conducted by Mackerras, Parrott, Suzuki, Sargent and others - all of them with much to offer - but this is my favourite. Playing, singing and recording are all first rate, but more than that, this is the only disc, in my experience, that gives us Handel's setting of The Greatest Story Ever Told with the requisite profundity and nobility, while never sounding heavy or too slow. I can see why it was the BBC's Building a Library first choice in the 90s.

There are only two possible problems, hardly worth mentioning. First, the recording of the end lacks impact for some reason - so just increase the volume for the final choruses. Second, John Tomlinson's voice and interpretation gave me great pleasure, but his operatic approach differs from that of his excellent colleagues. I have to say it doesn't bother me. A wonderful release!

You have to have the volume up above 1/2 way to get the full benefit of the solos. That said, it is a wonderful masterpiece, performed beautifully - the sort of CD that it will take a long time to get bored with! It comes with the words, so you can sing along - but like me, you probably already know them! I am especially pleased that I decided to buy this CD.

Must buy! 28 Dec 2008
Format:Audio CD
I bought this recording almost 20 years ago and it still is one that I come back to again and again. The recording quality (like much of the Archiv otuput) is excellent, and the choir and orchestra are first rate. There are no disappointing soloists - and all combine to provide and thrilling rendition of this great Oratorio. Even if you aren't a big fan of original instruments, the warmth and vibrancy of this recording are at times profoundly moving. I can't recommend this recording highly enough.

I love this recording. Anne Sofie Von Otter and Arleen Auger ( we will allways have your beautiful voice with us) are brilliant.

Gentle graceful small choir sound
The soloists are very good, Croft is the weakest. The chorus is too small. The effect is a Messiah that is very carefully considered (extreme rhythmic and dynamic precision,... Read more

A superb Messiah, one of the very best
This is a magnificent recording. It is played on period instruments but is regal and devotional in nature. The singing is uniformly exquisite. Read more
