Handel: Messiah, Dublin Version / Dunedin Consort
Label: LINN Catalog: CKD285 Format: CD Susan Hamilton, Annie Gill, Clare Wilkinson, Dunedin Consort & Players, John ButtIn the years after Handel had published his Dublin version of the Messiah, he added at least ten more versions of his work. The repeated changes to his composition reflect the many musical influences of the time, which Handel tried to do justice to again and again. Shortly before Christmas the Ensemble Dunedin Consort & Players, conducted by John Butt, releases a recording of this almost unknown version. Thus, musical surprises under the Christmas tree should be provided for. Price: $48.98 |
