Product Review : Handel: Messiah (1751 version)
| 47 of 50 people found the following review helpful  a voice teacher and early music fan, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Handel: Messiah (1751 version) (Audio CD) 'THIS IS NOT SACRED' JENNENS SAID, TO WHICH HANDEL AGREED;I SIMPLY WANT TO CHARM MY PUBLIC AND HELP THOSE THAT ARE IN NEED! 'Handel's most popular and joyous oratorio, a work of unfailing melodic invention and dramatic expressiveness, has become a British national institution, regularly performed by all manner of choirs and orchestras. This new recording (January,2006) provides the ONLY re-construction of Handel's unique London performances in 1751,when he used BOY TREBLE VOICES not only for the choruses but for the arias as well. It is both a celebration of the British chapel choir tradition and a window onto a particular time and place in the history of HANDEL'S own PERFORMANCES of his masterpiece.' It seems like I, personally, have waited all my life to hear the Messiah performed in this manner. I only hope that Handel somehow can also hear this absolutely magnificent rendition of this oratorio. Because of the use of the treble voices in the soprano and...

So I have several recordings of this ever-popular piece.Like Higginbottom's New College recording of Bach's St. John Passion, this performance uses boys as soloists for the soprano parts (except that "Rejoice greatly" is sung by the tenor). It's modeled after an actual performance that Handel did, in 1751 when he apparently had the good fortune to find some trebles who could, in the words of conductor Higginbottom in his notes, "step up to the plate". These three trebles certainly do. They are great and their pure and innocent voices tend to enhance the sincerity of the arias. I couldn't decide which one I liked best. At first, I wondered if an aria like "I know that my redeemer liveth" could be convincingly done by a treble. It took...

My doubts disappeared almost immediately and never reappeared. This is, simply put, a sensational recording of Handel's best-loved oratorio. And it has the added attraction of being the version he prepared for a 1751 London performance in which the soprano parts were taken by boy trebles. The performers here are the Choir of New College, Oxford, the Academy of Ancient Music, three solo trebles, countertenor Iestyn Davies, tenor Toby Spence and bass Eamonn Dougan all under the direction of New College's long-time music director, Edward Higginbottom.I'm not enough of a scholar of the various performing editions of 'Messiah' to be able to cite chapter and verse about how this version might differ from others. Suffice it to say that Handel didn't actually leave a definitive version and over the many years that I've heard (or sung) performances of the work, there have often been slight differences...
