About

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.

Awards and reviews

Early Music Review August 2013

The interpretation of La Chappelle Rhenane and Benoit Haller comes across as truly sincere and therefore a pleasure to listen to. Of the recordings I already own of this work, this would be the one I would listen to if I wanted to hear some fresh inspirations. Highly recommended.
