Handel's Messiah makes my eyes water. I have no shame for that.

Het is het mooiste werk die ik tot nu toe gehoord heb, de mooiste uitvoering van Messiah 🙏🏼👏🏼🌈

[@StratoArt]

Mee eens zijn!

[@elanarenata8526]

The most beautiful performance of The Messiah ❤❤❤ I have ever heard. I listen to it every day❤❤❤

[@erickanter]

Handel himself was so caught up in the hallelujah chorus he thought he could see heaven opened and angels praising God.

[@daviddavenport9350]

The Ouverture was so beautifully and transparently played that I heard intricacies in Handel's counterpoint of which I was never before aware....and I may have played Messiah 30-50 times in my life!

Are you sure of your description? For me, it's Vaclav Luks and the Collegium 1706?

[@StratoArt]

you are very correct, I stand corrected. Thanks!

[@menaphil2003]

I CONFIRM!Waclav Lutz and Collègium 1704! Very talented renditions!

Who are the performers? I love this recording, but don't anything about the ensemble or soloists.
