Handel's sacred oratorio Messiah is the iconic work the Monteverdi Choir and English Baroque Soloists have chosen to launch their joint partnership with harmonia mundi. Directed by Christophe Rousset, they have combined forces with a stellar vocal quartet of soloists to present Handel's masterpiece in all its dramatic power, eloquence and fervent exultation.
