CD Reviews

A Wonderful Recording & Bargin

J. James Phillips | Lake Jackson, Texas | 01/04/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This 2 CD set is a great buy. For me Messiah must have a harpsichord, Baroque orchestration, expressive soloists (including a real deep bass), and a chorus that you can understand the words. This recording has all of this and more. The soprano, tenor and alto are also excellent. The orchestration is great and the recording is crisp. The balance between voices and orchestra is well done. I can't believe the quality of this set for such a low price. I am throughly enjoying listening to it (and singing along).This would make a fine gift."

"The previous review, written in Spanish, is not a review of this item!! The Spanish reviewer is reviewing the Madacy label edition featuring the Orlando Orchestra. This item is on a different label and features the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra! Before you blast away at a product, you may want to make sure to post the comments in the right place... otherwise people need to ignore your comments."
