Product Description
First performed in 1742, Messiah composed by George Frideric Handel has become one of the best-known and most performed choral works.
The Messiah is a cornerstone recording in the history of Sparrow Records. As executive producer, Billy Ray Hearn’s intention was make this recording more friendly to the “man in the pew” by using a choral conductor, John Alldis, and modern orchestration. There was no attempt to be authentic or “purist”. The purpose was to show this to be the greatest praise and worship composition ever.
Featuring the world-renowned London Philharmonic Orchestra and the London Philharmonic Choir, The Messiah is one of the most complete recordings and best selling versions of Messiah.
