This work »surpasses everything ever performed before in this or any other kingdom,« the press exulted when George Frideric Handel performed his new oratorio »Messiah« in Dublin on 13 April 1742. Today, Handel’s »Messiah« is a standard ingredient of the Christmas-time concert repertoire. And London’s award-winning Tenebrae Choir under the baton of Nigel Short is making its Elbphilharmonie debut with what must be the composer’s best-loved oratorio. They are accompanied by top soloists and the famous Academy of Ancient Music, which makes this Christmas classic shine on original instruments.
