Handel–Mozart: Messiah
The ´óÏó´«Ã½ Singers, conducted by Sofi Jeannin, join the Britten Sinfonia and four outstanding soloists to perform Mozart’s compelling re-imagination of Handel’s masterpiece, Messiah.
Enjoy a rare chance to hear Handel’s seasonal masterpiece in Mozart’s compelling re-imagining for late 18th-century orchestra.
With Mozart's addition of trombones, horns, flutes and clarinets to Handel’s oboes, bassoon and trumpets, there is an abundance of rich and surprising textures – but every inspired note of Handel’s original remains the same.
The ´óÏó´«Ã½ Singers, conducted by Sofi Jeannin, join the Britten Sinfonia and a quartet of outstanding soloists to perform this work.
Recorded earlier this month at the Barbican and presented by Martin Handley.
