RECORDING INFORMATION
There are literally dozens of recordings available of Handel’s most popular oratorio, but they all have one thing in common: it’s not this one!

We’re proud to have the one and only Sir Colin Davis recording of Messiah in our Philips catalogue and its place in Philips 50 is more than justified.

Don’t forget that this release in Philips 50 comes in a 24 bits-96kHz transfer, making it sound as fresh as if recorded only yesterday!
