He shall feed His flock.Part Two: He was despised / The rebuke ... Behold and see ... He was cut off ... But thou didst not leave / How beautiful are the feet / Why do the nations ... Let us break their bonds / Hallelujah Chorus
Part Three: I know that my Redeemer liveth / Behold! ... The trumpet shall sound

I have downloaded this interesting recording of "Messiah" and am listening to it as I write this comment. Thank you for making it available to everyone.
ReplyDeleteMostly 'competition': never previously listened to this LP (finding a few more 'Messiah' arias, on LP, from that period proved fruitless).
DeleteThe excerpted 1929 Beecham / Gounod 'Faust' LP from this series is interesting..
Wonderful music, as always. Thank you once again.
ReplyDeleteSeems to have been rather popular. Paid £5 for the 2 shellac albums some 30years ago - vastly more than for any other '78s'!
