Handel* - Harper*, Watts* . Wakefield*, Shirley-Quirk*, London Symphony Orchestra & Choir* * Sir Colin Davis – Messiah
George Frederic HANDEL Messiah - Oratorio in three parts, complete Heather Harper (sop) Helen Watts (alto) John Wakefield (ten) John Shirley-Quirk (bass) London Symphony Chorus (John Alldis, chorus master) London Symphony Orchestra/Sir Colin Davis
Colin Davis' genius-conducting gives us a fully-blooded performance with an orchestral precision and clarity which benefits Handel's orchestration enormously. It is no wonder, as Bernard Jacobson reminds us, that Beethoven said, "Handel - to him I bend my knee." The soloists are the most eminent of the time - without detraction of any, one remarks the fabulous Heather Harper and her Gabrielite announcement 'Behold. a virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call his name Emmanuel, God with us.' One cannot imagine greater portent being given to this piece. The LSO and Chorus under Davis' direction do fullest justification to this great work. Highly recommended ...
