Handel鈥揗ozart: Messiah
The 麻豆社 Singers, conducted by Sofi Jeannin, join the Britten Sinfonia and four outstanding soloists to perform Mozart鈥檚 compelling re-imagination of Handel鈥檚 masterpiece, Messiah.
Enjoy a rare chance to hear Handel鈥檚 seasonal masterpiece in Mozart鈥檚 compelling re-imagining for late 18th-century orchestra.
With Mozart's addition of trombones, horns, flutes and clarinets to Handel鈥檚 oboes, bassoon and trumpets, there is an abundance of rich and surprising textures 鈥� but every inspired note of Handel鈥檚 original remains the same.
The 麻豆社 Singers, conducted by Sofi Jeannin, join the Britten Sinfonia and a quartet of outstanding soloists to perform this work.
Recorded earlier this month at the Barbican and presented by Martin Handley.
