Customer Reviews
Average rating of 4/5 Bargain Messiah, 2010-02-18
Never having got to know this noble work beyond its famous highlights, I decided that a complete recording was long overdue. I carefully researched the customer reviews of the available choices, and can happily confirm all that was said about Davis' classic recording. It may not be on period instruments, but the instrumental ensemble is relatively compact and undoubtedly energetic and precise. The vocal ensemble is excellent and it certainly makes an attractively priced and most enjoyable first full recording to own.

Average rating of 5/5 Messiah CD, 2009-12-13
I bought this CD to practise for a 'Come and Sing' event. I usually have help learning music, but my musician son has now gone to Uni. The only thing that i found annoying was when playing the CD through the computer, it did not recognise all the tracks and they were listed as 'unknown' Tricky when I wanted to concentrate on just the choruses.

Average rating of 4/5 Not quite right for a first time amateur alto, 2009-12-15
I bought this after reading the reveiws for my first attempt in a choral society, and my first proper attempt at singing the alto part. The music is wonderful, but the altos are quite quiet, and we only had six rehearsals, so it was not as much of an aid whilst driving the car as I had hoped - I couldn't follow the alto line without the music.

Average rating of 5/5 Excellent recording, 2009-11-07
Just what was needed. Excellent clarity and played - and sung - at a swift pace; just right for practice prior to a "Raise Money for Children in Need" scratch choir concert.

Average rating of 5/5 thoroughly enjoyed the CD, 2009-12-15
I am not an expert in any shape or form about classical music or a collector of huge number of CDs but Handel's Messiah has always been been my favourite. So I bought this set based on the recommendation of reviews and it did not disappoint. With the good price and famous orchestra and conductor, it's unlikely to go wrong.
