The English Concert & Choir & Trevor Pinnock Handel Messiah (Disc 2) (1988)
Messiah (HWV 56)\nGeorge Frideric Handel (1685 - 1759)\n\nThe English Concert (on authentic instruments)\nThe English Concert Choir\nDirected from the harpsichord by Trevor Pinnock\nArleen Auger, soprano\nAnne Sofie von Otter, contralto\nMichael Chance, alto\nHoward Crook, tenor\nJohn Tomlinson, bass\n\nArchiv, 1988, 423 630-2\nDDD\n\nIn a rec.music.classical.recordings message, jliu@world.std.com \n(James C Liu) says:\n\nFor a fine period instruments Messiah, I'd point you to Trevor Pinnock's\nDG Archiv set with the English Concert and Choir. Soloists are top-notch,\nincluding the wonderful Arleen Auger and Anne Sofie von Otter (unforgettable\nin He was despised) and a delightfully rumbling basso profundo in John\nTomlinson (talk about furious raging!). The choir is small, but disciplined,\nand makes a full sound with the kind of attention to dynamics and expression\nthat recalls Robert Shaw in his glory days (try Since by man came death).\nPinnock's conducting favors the clear textures and crisp articulation of\nthe period-instrument school, but he isn't afraid of stretching tempi\n(He was despised is one of the slowest I've heard anywhere), of using a\ngorgeous singing tone in the lyrical moments, and of playing with fire\nand drama. Very fulfilling stuff.\n YEAR: 1988
