I didn't have money to lose on a bad one, but I heard this one on the radio one time and so I knew I would like it before I bought it.

Trouble with the ones we have, even if the orchestra and conductor are top flight, if I like the baritone, I don't like the soprano. If I like the soprano, I don't like the alto. And so it goes. And I tend to judge any "Messiah" by how well the bass sings "The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light" aria. One of my personal favorites. I agree with you. this work is magnificent. I’ll have to try your recommendation, Mark.

I have a few selections from Messiah on various choral compilations, but I hate hearing only part of something. (I just own compilations because they are cheap and give me exposure to know what complete pieces I need to get...) I love choral music. Seeing Tech perform St Matthew's Passion was one of the most transcendent musical experiences I've ever had. Too bad the Lubbock Chorale, although they perform Messiah every year, only do selections. :( I do need to get one.
