Handel: Messiah - Paul McCreesh & Gabrieli Consort (2 CD + Audio) [Blu-ray]

"Messiah" - оратория для солистов, хора и оркестра Георга Фридриха Генделя, одно из наиболее известных сочинений в жанре. Эта версия произведения Генделя записана в исполнении оперных певцов, симфонического оркестра и под руководством дирижера Пол МакКриша.

Издание включает Blu-ray Audio диск с высококачественным 24-х битным звучанием.

This widely celebrated 1997 release (dubbed “a Messiah for the millennium”) has many strengths. Gabrieli (also known as the Gabrieli Consort and Players) was founded by English conductor and cellist Paul McCreesh in 1982, and began its life as an early music ensemble. McCreesh plays up the work’s drama and excitement; swift tempos and crisp articulation fill the music with energy. The chorus and orchestra execute flawlessly, even brilliantly, whatever McCreesh asks.
