I've never been to a performance of Handel's Messiah.
This past weekend the Mercury Baroque Ensemble, joined by the Houston Chamber Choir, performed this tribute to the holiday season. They particularly wanted audience members to hear how this performance would have sounded in the days Handel was alive. The performance this year was the uncut "1743 Covent Garden" version of the piece.
That I'd like to see.
