This Messiah stands out in a very crowded marketplace, making classical best-seller lists in the holiday season of 2023. There are several attractions, including a good deal of alternative material from the oratorio, which developed considerably in the decade and a half after its premiere. The expansive 1741 version of “O Death, where is thy sting” is rarely heard, and here, it seems beautifully proportioned.
These genuine novelties aside, this is an exceptionally strong Messiah that anyone can enjoy. The soloists are all appealing, with the delicate voice of Lucy Crowe and the tenor of Michael Spyres being standouts.
