G.F. Händel

Messiah

Handel’s Messiah (1742) is not only Handel’s most famous work, but also one of the cornerstones of British choral culture.
Over the years, a tradition of large‑scale performances has taken hold—lavish, monumental interpretations that celebrate the work, especially the “Hallelujah,” as a true crowd‑pleaser.

This recording, performed on period instruments and featuring an outstanding British quartet of soloists, aims to return the piece to the scale and intimacy of its earliest performances. Rediscover Handel’s Messiah with us!

Recorded at the Jesus-Christus-Kirche in Berlin-Dahlem in January 2020.
