Handel: Messiah

(1751 version)

This new recording of Handel’s Messiah presents the first modern recording of a re-construction of Handel’s unique London performances of Messiah in April and May 1751, when he used treble voices from the Chapel Royal for choruses and arias.

Henry Jenkinson, Otta Jones, Robert Brooks (trebles), Iestyn Davies (countertenor), Toby Spence (tenor), Eamonn Dougan (bass)

Academy of Ancient Music & Choir of New College Oxford, Edward Higginbottom

“This is a very special recording. Not only is it of quite outstanding quality both musically and dramatically, but, being sung entirely by male voices associated with a single institution (all the soloists are past or present members of New College Choir), it probably comes as close as modern conditions permit to a sound that Bach would have recognized.” The Daily Telegraph
