La Chapelle Rhénane / Benoît Haller
Benoit Haller and his Strasbourg-based ensemble, La Chappelle Rhénane, would only agree to make a live recording of this work, whose immense popularity is reflected in its virtually uninterrupted performing tradition. Here is a powerful and highly personal version of this timeless, universal masterpiece, marked by the intense commitment of [only] twelve vocal soloists chosen for their specific vocal colour and their fidelity to Handel's music.
