Note: The Haydn Mass was recorded in the National Cathedral , Washington D.C., on January 20, 1973, after a performance given as a prayer for peace during the Vietnam War (a cause - peace - which Bernstin felt deeply). At that time, the National Cathedral (built in the Gothic style) was finished only to a point just west of the transept. Nonetheless, a characteristic acoustic is already evident. -- Dr. Theodore Albrecht.

Libretto from gfhandel.org - web site co-produced by musicologist David Vickers.
Handel, George Frideric Messiah (excerpts) Part I Overture Recitative: Comfort ye my people (recitative, tenor) Every valley shall be exalted (aria, tenor) And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed (Chorus) Behold, a virgin shall conceive (recitative, alto) For unto a child is born (chorus) Pastoral Symphony There were shepherds abiding in the field (recitative, soprano) Glory to God in the highest (chorus)

(chorus)
Part III Behold, I tell you a mystery (recitative, bass) The trumpet shall sound (aria, bass) Worthy is the Lamb that was slain (chorus)
Jennifer Vyvyan, soprano Monica Sinclair, mezzo-soprano Jon Vickers, tenor Giorgio Tozzi, bass Royal Philharmonic Orchestra & Chorus Sir Thomas Beecham, conductor Music Library call number: CD-4 4660 
Note: This performance does not use Handel's original Baroque scoring (for strings and continuo, trumpets and timpani, with implied oboes and bassoons doubling the strings). Rather it uses a full orchestra, arranged by Sir Eugene Goossens from Ebenezer Prout's edition of Mozart's re-orchestration. Recorded in 1959, this performance is admittedly controversial today in terms of "authentic Baroque performance practice," but it includes much vivid and exciting music-making, the likes of which are often missing in "correct" performances nowadays. Enjoy! - Dr. Theodore Albrecht
