Libretto: Charles Jennens
First performance: 13 April 1742, Dublin, Ireland
Recorded: 1991, Stadtkirche Ellwangen
During the first London performance King George II is said to have been so moved by the 'Halleluja' chorus, that he rose from his seat, and the rest of the audience with him. The Messiah, Handel's best-known oratorio, is deemed to be the masterpiece of the genre and one of the main reasons that he became popular artistic figure in London's contemporary music scene.
Rilling conducts Mozart's 1789 arrangement of that "Grand Musical Entertainment". According to Rilling, it is due to the details that this arrangement is so fascinating: dynamic changes, a different segmentation of solo and chorus parts, the instrumentation modulated to the tone characteristic of Mozart's time. "Actually", says Rilling, "this Messiah is a new work, more colourful, and very interesting!"
"I was particularly impressed by Cornelia Kallisch; her singing of "He was despise" is beautifully controlled and her declamation clear and affecting... [Her] light-textured voice, sometimes recalling the youthful Ameling, is ideal in this repertory. The bass Alastair Miles is the British member of the team and his contribution is a strong one. His vigorous account of "Why do the nations so furiously rage together?", completed by Mozart's timpani, comes over fluently and with pleasing attention to detail."
