Messiah

Album by George Frideric Handel & Bach Orchestra of the Netherlands & Pieter Jan Leusink

Messiah is an oratorio by G.F. Händel, first performed in 1742. The large-scale Baroque work sets English biblical texts for solo voices, chorus and orchestra and was written during Händel's late-career shift from Italian opera to English-language oratorio.
