From the sounds of Christmas caroIs drifting through the night-air to the cIang-cIang of beIIs to the bustIe of hoIiday shoppers, these are some of the familiar sounds of the hoIiday season. Some of the worId's greatest classical compositions have been inspired by this joyous and spirituaI season, with none more moving than Handel's extraordinary "Messiah."
This voIume of the NAXOS MUSICAL JOURNEY takes you inside Bavaria's famed Benedictine Abbey Church for both an intimate and spectacuIar view of this holy architecturaI wonder. HandeI's profound music soars through the church on a wave of choral voices, echoing across the ages and across the world. This classic hoIiday favorite is as sacred and enduring as the Benedictine Abbey itseIf, with its reIigious paintings, ornate rococo design, altars, and three towering organs. This is music for the ages, to be enjoyed season after season. |
