We are proud to announce the release of this exceptional Compact Disc of Handel’s Messiah. The all professional Choir and Orchestra come together as PRO CHRISTE especially for this recording. This is an apt title for the group as all performers are committed Christians. World renowned soloists, Linda Finnie and Neil Mackie feature in Mezzo-Soprano and Tenor roles respectively.

The recording has wonderful clarity and each soloist is captured most appealingly yet in a most natural perspective. Those big moments have never sounded better!
