Digital Booklet
From its 1742 premiere, Handel's Messiah has been an audience favourite and for many, the initial portal into the world of classical choral music. This live triple album, recorded at pre-Christmas concerts in November 2014, features vocalists Julia Doyle, Lawrence Zazzo, Steve Davislim and Neal Davies performing the original English language version along with the Chor des Bayerischen Rundfunks under the direction of Peter Dijkstra. They are joined by the whimsically named B'Rock, the Belgian Baroque Orchestra Ghent, working from the original and historically informed scoring.

What is High-Resolution Audio?

High-resolution audio offers the highest-fidelity available, far surpassing the sound quality of traditional CDs. When you listen to music on a CD or tracks purchased via consumer services such as iTunes, you are hearing a low-resolution version of what was actually recorded and mastered in the studio. ProStudioMasters offers the original studio masters — exactly as the artist, producers and sound engineers mastered them — for download, directly to you.

What do I need for playback?

You may need additional software / hardware to take full advantage of the higher 24-bit high-res audio formats, but any music lover that has heard 16-bit vs 24-bit will tell you it's worth it!
