Agreed! the Messiah was originally written in English because it was considered that the English Choirs were superior to their European counterparts. But! I have always been interested in how it would sound in the German vernacular. Granted it's a fair age now, but it appeared the better of the odd couple offered. The soloists to start with, would have to be the best quartet I could think of. The late Andrew Davis has always been a favourite of mine, I have his in many operas. The sheer Acrobatical agility of her vocal technique always had me under it's spell. Toronto Mendelssohn Choir & Toronto Symphony Orchester are expertly guided by the competent hand of Andrew Davis and richly recorded by the engineers of EMI.
