HANDEL, G.F.: Messiah (ed. W. Shaw) (O'Loughlin, D. Moore, Phan, Concert Artists of Baltimore Symphonic Chorale, Baltimore Symphony, Polochick)
Of all English oratorios Handel’s Messiah has always been the most overwhelmingly popular. It is the least theatrical of his oratorios and the most purely sacred in its choice of subject matter. The vivid choral writing—there are more choruses in Messiah than in any other Handel oratorio—coupled with the expressive density of the solo arias, have ensured its status as one of the greatest choral masterpieces in the Western canon.
