Handel
Messiah
Handel's
remarkable oratorio Messiah, with its vivid portrayal of biblical scenes
and high emotional charge, is staple 'fare' in many people's Christmas
musical diet. And rightly so – alongside brilliant solo arias, its
magnificent choruses fired a whole nation's passion for choral-singing.
Acclaimed vocal group Polyphony, conducted by Stephen Layton, provides
the thrilling choral sound to set off a quartet of superb young soloists.
For over a decade Polyphony's annual London performances of Messiah have
sold out, so it is a particular delight to be touring with them prior
to recording the work at St John’s, Smith Square for release in
2009.
‘No-one,
but no-one performs Messiah better every year than the choir Polyphony
under the conductor Stephen Layton.’Evening Standard
