Intérprete: Andreas Scholl

Whether one considers Messiah to be really appropriate for Christmas, it always a welcome gift for the Handel aficionado, and this performance from Rotterdam, while suffering some unfortunate cuts, is an otherwise solid musical offering.

Le contre-ténor allemand brille de mille feux dans un concert où s'illustre également le jeune orchestre PRJCT, sous la direction de Maarten Engeltjes.

Blockflöte und Countertenor der Extraklasse lassen Gemüt und Ästhetik der neapolitanischen Schule in Herz und Gedächtnis verfangen.

A glorious performance of Handel's Biblical oratorio is marred by poor staging.

Joined by the exquisitely subtle Accademia Bizantina led by Alessandro Tampieri, Scholl brought little-known but no less great devotions to the Virgin Mary to life with impetus and intimacy.

Andreas Scholl and Collegium 1704 team up for a refreshing treatment of an early repertoire.
