I find it completely ridiculous that there is evidently not an option to preview even one single recording of Handel's Messiah on this website. How in the world am I supposed to know which one I want to buy? A boycott is sounding like a good idea right now.

This is the best recording of the Messiah that I have heard, and I have heard quite a few. The diction is so good that you understand each word. Even the choir can be understood. The soloists are not famous singers, and the humility of their performances as well as the technical skill is a pleasure to hear. The piece itself was written to showcase the Word of God and also to display vocal range. This is a great way to introduce non classical listeners to classic music with the best theme there is Jesus Christ!!

Many envision Christmas when they hear Messiah spoken in reference to Handel's classical craftsmanship. I, personally, envision all year round listening rapture.
Handel's composition details various epics of Christ's life--His birth, ministry, crucifixion, resurrection and eventual Messianic millennial rule. You behold through Handel's orchestrated psalms, the Old Testament prophesies concerning Messiah encompassed with the New Testament fulfillments.
Handel's Messiah is remarkable as it is the inspired Scripture set to orchestration. Messiah is absent of Handel's words; only holding his masterful musical scores.
When you insert these CDs, Biblical truths arise in illustrious, serenading ecstasy. You immediately recognize, The London Philharmonic is unequaled in this production. There is no need to search further for the unsurpassed.
Here are all the words for easy tracking:
Isaiah 40:1-3 1. Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. 2. Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned. . . . The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every Valley; Isaiah 40:4 4.Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill made low, the crooked straight, and the rough places plain. And the Glory of the Lord Isaiah 40:5 5. And the glory of the Lord ... Read More

A perfect rendition of Messiah. The Christmas season is not complete without hearing Messiah at least 2 or 3 times. Since Handel adopted England as home, it seems fitting to hear his work performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
