Dunedin Consort & Players / John Butt by Händel, от (2024/2024), диригент John Butt, deSingel, Antwerp, Belgium

Handel’s famous Messiah needs no introduction. When the Messiah was first performed to the public in 1742, it caused a sensation. The Musick Hall in Dublin was so packed that the men attended ‘without swords’ and the ladies were asked to wear skirts ‘without hoops’ in order to make room for more listeners. More than 250 years later, it still occupies a significant place in the repertoire. Its ability to delight and captivate is virtually unparalleled. The powerful choirs and excellent solos provide a score that is as fresh as it is inspiring. Conducted by John Butt, the unparalleled Dunedin Consort presents the Messiah as it would have been performed in Handel’s time.
