Composer G. F. Handel
Sir Neville Marriner conducts this 250th Anniversary performance. Soloists include Sylvia McNair, Anne Sofie Van Otter. The performance is supported by an informative background film "For Ever and Ever", explaining the circumstances behind the composition and the work's early impact, featuring contributions from the popular Handel scholar Professor H.C. Robbins Land and from Sir Neville Marriner himself.

Recorded in 1992, this performance of Handel's awesome "Messiah" took place on the 250th anniversary of the initial rendition of the piece. Recorded at the Point Theatre in Dublin, Ireland, this is an especially poignant rendition as it takes place in the city where it was originally performed in 1742.

Average Rating: (4.5 out of 5 stars) 4.5 stars

5 stars REALLY LIKE IT!
We recently attended a Messiah concert and were very disappointed due to the lack of volume and clear sound expression from the vocalists. So we decided not to go to the concerts anymore and watch it "personally" on the big screen and speakers at home with this DVD. Very nice!

One of the most renowned opera sopranos ever, elegant beauty Cecilia Bartoli shines in this 2000 production of Mozart's classic opera COSI FAN TUTTE. Inspired by the life of Austrian king Kaiser Joseph II, the complex, somewhat moralizing piece is staged here by the Zurich Opera House and co-stars illustrious opera performers Agnes Baltsa, Liliana Nikiteanu, and Roberto Sacca. Set in 18th century Naples, Don Alfonso wagers that the two girls, Fiordiligi and Dorabella, are no more trustworthy in matters of love than any other women. The girls sing of their love, before Don Alfonso tells them that their lovers are to be called away to the war. Despina, bribed by Don Alfonso, urges the girls to find other lovers, but they ...

Handel - Messiah: The 250th Anniversary Performance DVD
DVD $24.39
Francis Poulenc's STABAT MATER is a haunting piece of music composed after the death of one of his closest friends brought Poulenc to the shrine of the Black Madonna of Rocamadour. This performance of Poulenc's work combines soprano Judith Howarth, the BBC Philharmonic, and the choirs of St. John's, Clare and Gonville, and Caius Colleges to create a truly inspired interpretation. Poulenc wrote his "Stabat Mater," a hauntingly passionate work, after visiting the sacred shrine of the Black Madonna of Rocamadour. He made a pilgrimage to her remote chapel in the south of France after a good friend of his was hilled in a car accident. Poulenc's journey profoundly changed his life and work as a composer. Recorded here in an unrivalled ...
