Handel’s Messiah gets the Sixteen treatment: a virtuoso performance from a chamber choir of unsurpassed insight and skill.

Hallelujah! Handel’s Messiah is infinitely more than just a British seasonal fixture – and there’s more than one way to perform it, too. In this intimately-scaled, historically-informed performance from Harry Christophers and The Sixteen, it’ll come up as bright as new paint. Christophers and his singers have form with Handel: their landmark 2009 recording was acclaimed by The Daily Telegraph as “the most popular oratorio ever written, sung by…the most richly sonorous of the early music choirs”. 13 years on, Christophers vision has grown still deeper and more potent, but these are performers who always have something to say in a masterpiece that always has something new to offer.
