Messiah

Album by George Frideric Handel & James Bowman & Robert Tear & Benjamin Luxon & Cambridge Choir of King’s College & Academy of St Martin in the Fields & Sir David Willcocks

Messiah is an oratorio by George Frideric Handel, composed in 1741 and first performed in Dublin in 1742. The work combines Baroque choral and orchestral writing with solo vocal passages set to biblical texts, exemplifying Handel's late choral style and shaping the performance tradition of Western sacred music.
