Handel Taverner Choir, Taverner Players, Andrew Parrott - Messiah
Review by Salz D
The album "Messiah" by Handel Taverner Choir, Taverner Players, and Andrew Parrott is a stunning rendition of one of Handel's most famous works. The choir's performance is exquisite, with each note and syllable perfectly executed. The instrumental accompaniment provided by the Taverner Players is equally impressive, adding depth and texture to the overall sound.
Andrew Parrott's direction is masterful, bringing out the best in both the choir and the orchestra. The pacing of the performance is spot-on, with each movement building to a satisfying conclusion. The soloists are also exceptional, with their voices blending beautifully with the choir and orchestra.
