Messiah

Album by George Frideric Handel & London Philharmonic Orchestra & London Philharmonic Choir & Sir Adrian Boult

Messiah is an oratorio by George Frideric Handel, completed in 1741 and first performed in Dublin in 1742. Musically it blends Baroque orchestration with solo arias, recitatives and substantial choral writing in English, and it marked Handel's transition away from Italian opera towards English oratorio, influencing the development of the choral-oratorio tradition.
