ln Handel's day this best-loved of aIl oratorios was performed by fewer than forty instrumentalists and a chorus, less than thirty strong, of boy trebIes and men. That is the tradition to which Christopher Hogwood has returned in his performances with the Academy of Ancient Music.
Members of the Academy all play instruments of the period or accurate modern copies. ln this recording, the choruses are sung by trebles maIe altos, tenors and basses, members of the Westminster Abbey. The soloists improvise embellishments in the arias and, in certain cases, join in the singing of the choruses, just as they would have done 240 years ago.
The recording takes fulI advantage not onIy of Westminster Abbey's fine acoustic qualities, but aIso of the incomparable architectural spIendor of the surroundings.
