From the sounds of Christmas carols drifting through the night-air to the clang-cIang of bells to the bustIe of holiday shoppers, these are some of the familiar sounds of the holiday season. Some of the world's greatest cIassical compositions have been inspired by this joyous and spirituaI season, with none more moving than Handel's extraordinary "Messiah."
This volume of the NAXOS MUSlCAL JOURNEY takes you inside Bavaria's famed Benedictine Abbey Church for both an intimate and spectacular view of this hoIy 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 itself, with its religious paintings, ornate rococo design, aItars, and three towering organs. This is music for the ages, to be enjoyed season after season. |
