Messiah (Dublin version 1742).

Malcolm, Calum

Abstract

A first-rate performance of Handel's Messiah in which the Dunedin Consort recreate the freshness, excitement and spontaneity of the work's first public performance in 1742. Unlike the thirty singers used in some later performances, this version features only twelve, of which seven are soloists, all performing in the choruses
