HANDEL: Messiah - Famous Choruses

Handel’s ‘Messiah’ is one of the most inspiring musical compositions about the significance of the birth, death and resurrection of Christ. In this work, stylistic elements of German, Italian and English music merge into a magnificent and moving synthesis. Handel, the cosmopolitan, sings of salvation with free and visionary music.
