Messiah (Arias and Choruses)

Album by George Frideric Handel & Academy of St Martin in the Fields & Academy of St Martin in the Fields Chorus & Sir Neville Marriner

Messiah (Arias and Choruses) is an oratorio by George Frideric Handel, composed in 1741 and first performed in 1742. The work comprises operatic-style arias and large-scale choruses in Baroque idioms, synthesising Biblical texts into a three-part structure that traces prophecy, incarnation and redemption, and it occupies a central place in Handel's output and the development of the English oratorio tradition.
