Get it for the Singing,

This review is from: Handel's Messiah - A Soulful Celebration (Audio CD)
This is a VOCAL album. Some of the soundtracks sound a little arificial, but this is such a MONSTER work - it would cost a fortune and a year to arrange and record it all with musicians to match the vocals. The Voices are AMAZING, and the groove on many of the tracks more than makes up for any weak parts. What is really impressive is that if you are broad enough to know your classics and your soul, you will appreciate how Handel's work has been mapped into the soul genre. Clever! As for the Tour de Force, the "Hallelujah Chorus", it is just how church should be on a Sunday morning. A Truly Uplifting Groove. Yes, I recommend it!

Soulful, yes -- Celebration, maybe.,

This review is from: Handel's Messiah - A Soulful Celebration (Audio CD)
For those familiar with a classical performance of Handel's Messiah, this rendition may come as a bit of a shock. It comes out of an ambitiously conceived project and delivers an undoubtedly soulful collection of pieces. But it is a collection of pieces rather than a coherent whole, because each piece was performed and recorded in different locations by different groups of artists. The liklihood is that, like me, some pieces will really resonate with you and others will leave you untouched. In Handel's orchestration, the music lifts the scriptures. In some of these pieces the scripture is drowned, rather.

The Best Hallelujah Chorus EVER!,
By
This review is from: Handel's Messiah - A Soulful Celebration (Audio CD)
This is the best version of the Hallelujah Chorus EVER! The first time I heard it on MTV or somewhere years ago I nearly fell out of my chair. It still affects me emotionally to the point where I start crying. IT WILL KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF, even if you aren't religious - and I'm an atheist. But the SINGING!!! As a former singer, I am blown away by this.
