Does anyone have a favorite (sonically and in terms of performance) version of Handel's Messiah? I have a very dissapointing version with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir on CD. I think the performances are good (it's hard to tell), but the sound is all mushed together, it's hard to hear.
My mother was severely reprimanded in high school (Quaker boarding school)for listening to the messiah on a record player, nearly inaudible. Music was reserved only for special occasions, and for the whole group. Maybe that's why she played her collection of Messiah 78's (was it really 8 discs?) regularly and happily when I was growing up.
