G.F. Haendel - Messiah - Hogwood (1991) [FLAC]

George Frideric Handel (1685-1759) Messiah (Foundling Hospital Version 1754) Orchestra: The Academy Of Ancient Music (on authentic instruments) Conductor: Christopher Hogwood Choir: Choir Of Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford (Directed By Simon Preston) Sopranos: Judith Nelson, Emma Kírkby Contralto: Carolyn Watkinson Tenor: Paul Elliott Bass: David Thomas Label: Decca, Edition De L'Oiseau-Lyre (2-CD) 430 488-2 Audio CD (October 10, 1991) "This is the 'Messiah' that started it all--the first period instrument performance recorded with a choir of men and boys. It introduced music lovers the world over to Christopher Hogwood, Emma Kirkby, and a whole host of performers who have since become ubiquitous as the 'English Early Music Mafia,' appearing as they do under zillions of different ensemble names on a variety of labels. Hogwood's performance still holds its own, however, as one of the finest and freshest available. A first-rate effort." --David Hurwitz http://www.amazon.com/Handel-Messiah-Watkinson-Elliott-Hogwood/dp/B000004CXU -------------------- Disc: 1 1. Messiah - Part I: Sinfony 2.
