CD Reviews

Amazingly beautiful
Heidi A. Plunkett | Marietta, GA | 12/27/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This version has the highlights of The Messiah. All the ones you know. Enough that you will have the whole gospel story presented.

In beautiful baroque style with artfully added embellishments but defintly not overdone.

The soloist all pour every ounce of musical perfection to this recording.



I second what the previous reviewer said. Ms Battle brings heart and beauty as I have never heard to "I Know That my Redeemer liveth"



My onlynegative would be that the trumpets are sometimes too brilliant. But for heavens sake they are shouting the Glory of God can't really complain about that.



ENJOY"

"This is a lovely Handel's messiah highlight CD. If you want to hear just the popular arias and choruses, this will hit the spot."
