Series Jordi Savall

In December 2017, Jordi Savall recorded his version of Händel’s Messiah. His label AliaVox then released an album of this recording.

In a previous episode we brought you the first part. Given that the three parts are too long for one single episode, today we bring you La Capella Reial de Catalunya and Le Concert des Nations from Händel’s Messiah as recorded by Jordi Savall and his ensembles.

G.F. Handel (1685-1759):
From Messiah, HWV 56:
1 Behold the Lamb of God
2 He was despised
3 Surely he hath borne our griefs
4 And with his stripes we are healed
5 All we like sheep have gone astray
6 All that see him
7 He trusted in God
8 Thy rebuke hath broken his heart
9 Behold, and see if there be any sorrow
10 I know that my redeemer liveth
11 Behold, I tell you a mystery
12 The trumpet shall sound
13 Then shall be bought to pass
14 O death, where is thy sting?
15 But thanks be to God
16 Chorus: Worthy is the Lamb that was slain – Amen
