Despite the pronounced lack of accompanying instrumentation, the choral voices were of concert- quality in both clarity and timbre--on the whole, a quite exciting and worthwhile rendition. At earliest opportunity, however, I intend to upload my copy of the entire "Messiah" (with Elly Ameling-soprano, Anna Reynolds-contralto, Philip Langridge-bass and the Academy and Chorus of St Martin in the Fields, recorded January, July 1976), the most joyous and invigorating version I have ever heard!

Surprisingly clear rendition of the old Handel chestnut, performed by the Oratario Chorus. This rendition is quite easy to follow, and you can easily hear the back harmony along with the lead vocals.
