In a performance in London in 1751, Handel had the high voices trebled and sung by choirboys, and this recording reproduces that attempt. Not only is the manuscript unusual, but the singing and playing are also superb. The choir of New College and others, who are well known for their recordings on many labels, reproduce this masterpiece with clear expression and sound. Handel's most popular and joyous oratorio, "Messiah," is a treasure trove of endless melodic and dramatic expression, and has become almost a British national event, regularly performed by male chorus and orchestra. This new recording is a modern-day revival of Handel's own only performance in London in 1751. At that time, Handel used the boy's high singing voice not only in the chorus but also in the aria. The new recording honors the tradition of English church choirs and serves as a reminder of this historic moment in Handel's life when he performed his greatest masterpiece himself.
