An anthology Messiah

The discography of "Messiah" by Handel is bloated. It contains undoubted successes but also failures memorable. The interpretation issued by William Christie and Les Arts Florissants in 1994 undoubtedly belongs to the first category. the assets of this interpretation, we must insist on both impeccability soloists and orchestra.
1. The US leader has a remarkable vocal tray at its peak (the sopranos Barbara Schclick and Sandrine Piau, the cons-tenor Andreas Scholl to apolinienne more voices than ever, tenor Mark Padmore, singing style Handel and bass Nathan Berg) young and responsive to its indications. All are showing remarkable vocal accuracy as well as a flawless diction (do not forget that these singers have since become uncontested opera stars in the early stages of their careers and already demonstrate a splendid commitment).
2. The instrumentalists are widely involved in the success of this interpretation by chiseling a clear orchestral fabric, delicate and colorful (what mastery in the use of period instruments, including Baroque trumpet).
