헨델/ 메시아 ★★★★ 강추!! 연주: 바흐 콜레기움 제팬, 마사키 스즈키(지휘), 미도리 스즈키(소프라노), 요시카즈 메라(알토), 존 엘웨즈(테너), 데이빗 토마스(베이스) 헨델의 메시아는 음악 역사상 가장 많이 녹음되고 불려지며, 사랑 받은 작품 중의 하나이다. 헨델의 메시아가 이토록 많은 사랑을, 오랫동안 받아오면서 수많은 연주자들과 합창단이 이 작품을 다루어 왔지만 바흐 콜레기움 제팬 그리고 마사키 스즈키, 이들만큼 헨델의 메시아를 잘 표현한 이들이 과연 얼마나 있었을까하는 의구심이 들 정도이다. 환호 섞인 평가와 높은 평점들이 작품성과 대중성을 모두 증명해주는 듯 하다. - 스즈키의 작품에 대한 순수한 헌신적 열정은 이 앨범이 다른 헨델의 메시아 앨범들과 구별되고 차별화 되는데에 가장 큰 역할을 하였다. ---그라마폰--- - 로젯(Rosette), 펭귄 가이드 2002, 뉴욕 타임스 비평가 선정
