Messiah HWV 56 by Händel, lr. 05 urt. 2019, Noiztik (2019/2019), Zuzendaria Stephen Layton, Philharmonic Hall, Liverpool, United Kingdom

Hallelujah! Handel’s Messiah isn’t so much an oratorio as a national institution. From ‘Ev’ry Valley’ to ‘For Unto Us a Child is Born’ and of course the ‘Hallelujah’ chorus, everyone already knows at least some of the tunes – but to hear the whole thing performed live is one of the most uplifting experiences in all music. It’s become something of a New Year tradition in Liverpool, but it’s anything but dusty. Conductor Stephen Layton and a team of first class singers will bring out all the energy, inspiration and sheer joy of this true classic.
