How customer reviews and ratings work
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings, help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 December 2025
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 August 2025This is a wonderful recording of Handel'S Messiah. There are 2cds which gives the complete work plus at the end of CD 2 8 varient numbers. Then there is a dvd which gives the whole work in concert at Coventry Cathedral.
Both cds come to 168 minutes with each CD around 83 minutes. The soloists are brilliant as well as the chorus and orchestra under the Great John Nelson who unfortunately died this year.
I cannot recommend this cd/dvd enough.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 December 2024Excellent
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 January 2024This is definitely the best performance of Messiah on disc. All the soloists are excellent and their chosen ornamentations are beautiful. The real test of such a performance is do you go back for repeated listening and this recording scores 5* on this criteria.

Cliente AmazonReviewed in Italy on 2 January 20265.0 out of 5 stars Ottima interpretazione
Ottima interpretazione da parte del compianto direttore Nelson e splendida esecuzione di orchestrali e cantanti. Insieme alla versione di Trevor Pinnock per Archiv è una delle edizioni migliori dell'opera di recente emissione.
