London Handel Festival - Messiah
The London Handel Festival’s annual performance of Messiah is a fixture in the Christmas season. This is one of the best loved and most famous works in the baroque music repertoire, and has an enduring popularity with audiences today. From the intimacy of the Pastoral Symphony to the rousing ‘Hallelujah’ chorus, the piece has great dramatic contrasts and a direct emotional engagement with the listener. It is astonishing that Handel wrote the original version in less than a month.
