HANDEL'S MESSIAH - HIGHLIGHTS

Album by George Frideric Handel

HANDEL'S MESSIAH - HIGHLIGHTS is a highlights compilation of the oratorio Messiah by Georg Friedrich Händel, composed in 1741 and first performed in 1742. The music is baroque choral and orchestral writing built from solo arias, recitatives and large choruses with strings and continuo supporting the vocal lines, and the highlights format offers a condensed view of Handel's English-oratorio output late in his career.
