Posted by Michael Greenhalgh on February 14, 2007, 10:43 pm, in reply to "Re: Dunedin Consort and Players: Messiah" I've only heard a sample of the Higginbottom Messiah but didn't like it (I'm not reviewing it). What I heard I felt was a bit too cultivated Anglican, though I do like the Hogwood Messiah done with the AAM and Christchurch Oxford, first published 1980! I agree with you about the excellence of the Dunedin Consort diction and, in a word, spirituality. The clarity from small forces and of the recording helps too, as might indeed the comparative lack of instrumental frills in relation to other bands. With best wishes Michael.
