George Frideric HANDEL - Messiah

Handel’s Messiah is phenomenally popular the world over, and Les Arts Florissants’ recording of it has become the standard reference. Attention to language, a sense of theater, dramatic tension, energy, and vigor are the defining characteristics of both Handel’s masterwork and the approach developed over the past 30 years by William Christie and Les Arts Florissants.
