Product DescriptionThe Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square
present the triumphant and angelic sound of George Frideric
Handel's masterpiece Messiah. This album features some of
the very best soloists in the world, including Bryn Terfel, Sonya
Yoncheva, Rolando Villazon, and Tamara Mumford. Taking
over two years to record, the choir conductor, Mack Wilberg, has
painstakingly captured an awe-inspiring version of arguably
the best choral work ever written. The attention to every detail
is impeccable, the vocal performances are unforgettable, and
the ''Hallelujah'' chorus performed by the 360-member Mormon
Tabernacle Choir and the 85-member Orchestra at Temple Square
will long be considered one of the best versions ever recorded.
This single-disc version features 15 popular selections from
Handel's Messiah.
