I saw this performed years ago and bought the CD and the VHS tape. I was actually looking for a DVD of the performance and found this CD rating. First, I love the Messiah in the original. It is the ONLY church cantata or music performance I have ever wept over. The Messiah is a very moving piece of work. When a friend asked me to go to the Young Messiah I was quite interested yet shocked after the interlude by the difference between the traditional and this work. While I would mention that there are two songs that I believe do not do justice to the original and are not well done, It would be notable to point out that the rest of the songs are done quite well. Anyone who is familiar with gospel artists Sandi Patti and Steve Green will find them both in this recording as well as other well-known artists. Mr. Green's song, Refiner's Fire, will move you as does Steven Curtis Chapman's rendition of Who Shall Stand. Nice CD. |
