With Messiah Dunedin Consort returns to its Christmas seasonal favourite. With different soloists and combinations of singers and players for every set of performances, this piece seems to mould itself to the special contributions of each artist, miraculously sounding new every time Dunedin Consort performs it. Of all his Handel’s oratorios, this is the one that he designed for the largest possible range of performing circumstances, and in this adaptability surely lies something of its magic.
