Veröffentlicht am: 20.06.2014
"Kühn und vital"- mit diesen Worten beschreibt Nikolaus Harnoncourt Händels "Messias", eines der berühmtesten und populärsten Werke der Klassik überhaupt. Zwanzig Jahre nach seiner ersten Einspielung widmete sich Harnoncourt diesem Werk erneut - und gestaltete gemeinsam mit dem Concentus Musicus Wien, dem Arnold Schönberg Chor und einer großartigen Sänger-Besetzung (Christine Schäfer, Anna Larsson, Michael Schade und Gerald Finlay) eine neue und aufregende Referenzeinspielung dieses herausragenden Werkes.
