Product Description

CD Description

The Huddersfield Choral society has one of the longest and most fruitful relationships with Handel s famous Messiah than perhaps any other chorus in the world: they first performed it in concert during their inception year of 1836, and have continued to do so annually since 1860 with concerts the world over as well as in their hometown of Huddersfield. Recorded live in concert in December 2010, this new recording combines the famous ensemble with the Northern Sinfonia and four world-class professionals, under the direction of Jane Glover CBE. The disc begins with John Wainwright s Christians Awake , a traditional addition to the Messiah programme at their concerts in Huddersfield. Also available on Signum is the Huddersfield Choral Society s performance of Mozart s 1787 arrangement of the work, with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Dame Felicity Lott, Robert Langridge and others under the direction of Sir Charles Mackerras (SIGCD074).

5.0 out of 5 stars Tradition and excellence 28 Jan 2012
By Rev
Format:Audio CD
Huddersfield Choral Society have been singing the oratario by Handel - Messiah since at least 1864. To be part of the audience at its recording in 2011 was a real privilege. So this recording has at least one voice with which I can identify- mine! That I should be able to add anything to the sound is of course pretty rare. This recording offers Huddersfield Choral Society's Christmas music at its finest.
