1133.0. "Oratorium on CD" by UTRTSC::MORAAL (The ...... of this story) Fri Apr 01 1988 07:05

    I hope we can share some valuable information in this note.
    During these day's Bach's Matheuss Passion is performed nearly
    every day. There are quite a few CD-recordings of this oratorium.
    But there are many more oratoria, and many on CD as well!
    Take for instance Handel's Messiah (christopher Hogwood).
    Last week I captured Haydn's "Nelson Messe", by the English Consort
    (Trevor Pinnock).
    Waiting for replies!

1133.1Handel's Esther. Worth a listenSMURF::BINDERPopular culture is an oxymoron.Tue Apr 05 1988 16:355
Try Handel's Esther, by Hogwood et al.  Of particular note (no pun 
intended) is Drew Minter's alto role.  Minter is one of the finest male 
altos I ever hope to hear.

    Dick, 
    Your enthousiastic reply made me purchase Esther unheared. It realy
    is beatiful. Minter is very fine, I prefere him over Rene Jacobs.
    There is a duet in the second part which I think is the most gorgious
    piece in the whole Esther.
