Messiah: Arias & Choruses

Album by George Frideric Handel & Chicago Symphony Orchestra & Chicago Symphony Chorus & Sir Georg Solti & Kiri Te Kanawa

Messiah: Arias & Choruses is a collection of selections from the oratorio Messiah by George Frideric Handel, which was composed in 1741. The music features Baroque vocal and choral writing with orchestra and continuo, alternating expressive solo arias and large-scale choruses that reflect Handel's shift from Italian opera to English-language oratorio during his London career.
