Handel’s Messiah is among the most revered oratorios of all time — and in the hands of conductor and 18th century interpreter Nicholas McGegan, it is simply sublime. “When it comes to conveying the vital spark of Handel’s music, Mr. McGegan has few peers,” claims The New York Times; The Independent calls McGegan “one of the finest Baroque conductors of his generation.” Messiah shines its spotlight on the Milwaukee Symphony Chorus, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this season.
