I just downloaded both parts of The Messiah from iTunes. This version is from the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields with Sir Neville Mariner from the late 70s and is remarkably better than most even though it wasn’t recorded on original instruments. The tempo is perfect, the sound grand and Elly Ameling at her best. Handel knew how to rejoice better than any composer I know.
