Messiah

Album by George Frideric Handel & English Chamber Orchestra & Richard Bonynge

Messiah is an oratorio by George Frideric Handel, composed in 1741 and first performed in 1742. The work mixes choral writing and solo arias in the Baroque style, the orchestra supports dramatic choral passages, and it followed many of Handel's operas as part of his move to English-language sacred works.
