"The finest Composition of Musick that ever was heard" - this was only one of the enthusiastic press reviews written after the world premiere of Handel's Messiah. Handel's oratorios were, overall, already very popular during his lifetime and were frequently performed. Since 2009, Carus has been recording this series with Handel's oratorios as well as select vocal works, operas and instrumental compositions. Now a box containing 13 CDs and comprising several large-scale oratorios has been compiled: it includes, in addition to "Messiah," "Alexander's Feast," "Israel in Egypt," "Brockes-Passion," "Solomon" as well as the relatively unknown gem "L'Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato." The artists on this CD collection include the Kolner Kammerchor under Peter Neumann, Kammerchor Stuttgart under Frieder Bernius, Vocalensemble Rastatt under Holger Speck and Winchester Cathedral Choir under Nicolas McGegan.
