Handel's "Messiah" is a masterpiece that pushes the boundaries of musical expression. Its majestic melodies, moving choral pieces and inspiring solo parts combine to create an immersive experience that deeply touches the soul. As such, it is more than an ingeniously composed oratorio - it is a universal story of hope, joy and redemption.
No wonder it is still immensely popular after almost three centuries, becoming a true Christmas classic.
