Messiah - the baroque maestro Christian Curnyn

If there is one work in the European sacred music repertoire that is inextricably linked with the celebration of Christmas, it is surely Handel's Messiah. Since its premiere in 1742, the oratorio has remained Handel's best-known work and one of the absolute pinnacles of the baroque. The Athens State Orchestra is conducted by the British conductor Christian Curnyn, an expert in early music with few equals on the international music scene.
