The BBC Singers and conductor David Hill join with one of the world´s oldest continuously running orchestras, The Norwegian Wind Ensemble (NWE), to present this major new arrangement of George Frideric Handel’s most celebrated oratorio – Messiah HWV 56.

Arranged for wind ensemble by NWE member Stian Aareskjold, this version here receives its world premere recording with a stellar cast of soloists who bring this visionary re-scoring of this famous work vividly to life.

'[...] it’s the underlying tenderness of the new orchestration which will ensure return visits, and the unfussy high-quality wind playing of NEW in tandem with the evergreen BBC Singers.'
