Orchestra: London Symphony Chorus, Londony Symphony Orchestra. Conductor: Sir Colin Davis. Composer: Georg Friedrich Handel. The tenor, John Wakefield (who is the only soloist not pictured in the accompanying notes) had a somewhat covered and dark sound, not as attractive as that of his colleagues but he sings accurately and expressively. This recording was released at a time when audiences were more accustomed to Victorian styled Messiah performances with large forces and massive pipe organs.
