"George Frideric Handels oratorium «Messias» (1741) er strengt tatt ikke julemusikk – komponisten selv oppførte det i fastetiden – men har endt opp med å bli det gjennom tradisjon og sedvane. I en førjulstid hvor musikk i det store formatet har stilnet i mange av landets kirker kan det være fint å trøste seg med en ypperlig ny innspilling av verket.
[...]
Denne nye innspillingen byr på kor og orkester i toppklasse fra Berlin, med ditto dirigent og solister fra Storbritannia. Bedre kunstnerisk argument for Brexits meningsløshet finner du ikke."
The RIAS Kammerchor Berlin and its chief conductor Justin Doyle present Handel’s Messiah, together with the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin and an all-British quartet of outstanding soloists, consisting of Julia Doyle (soprano), Tim Mead (countertenor), Thomas Hobbs (tenor) and Roderick Williams (bass). Messiah is not only Handel’s most famous work, but equally one of the cornerstones of British choral culture. Soon after the work’s premiere, a tradition of mass performances full of pomp and circumstance took root, with the Hallelujah as a showstopper. This new period-instruments recording, however, aims to bring the piece back to the size and intimacy of the 1742 premiere in Dublin. The Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin has a substantial PENTATONE discography, including Handel’s Concerti grossi Op. 6 and Op. 3, (released in 2019 and 2020), Telemann’s opera Miriways (2019) and CANTATA with Bejun Mehta (2018). The RIAS Kammerchor Berlin, Justin Doyle, Julia Doyle, Tim Mead, Thomas Hobbs and Roderick Williams all make their PENTATONE debut.
