Re: what are you hearing?

Cathy: Of course, knowing that would imply that one is somewhat familiar
with the entire scope of Handel's Messiah...few people know that it
contains a great deal many more movements than what is popularly played
at Christmas...it has been reduced to a mere shadow of what it really
is.

What gets me about the Messiah is that it is invariably played at
