Listening to this CD was an intense emotional experience as I was transported from the deepest despair to unbridled jubilation. I was disappointed only by the fact that this was not a complete recording of the Messiah. I wanted more! An absolutely exquisite performance, and a must-have for any collection - brava! - Music Web International, Jake Barlow
