Divine creation, redemption and the conquest of death brought out the best in Handel. Messiah has a visionary quality in every bar and no matter how often you hear the work’s many musical highlights they never fail to touch the heart. Through a potent mix of tender arias and uplifting choruses we journey through the joys and sorrows of humanity. Deservedly one of his most renowned works, and always a favourite with Hallé audiences, Handel’s Messiah is one of those rare works which hold us rapt from start to finish.
