... erklingt in St. John’s Smith Square als Highlight der Saison Händels Messias. In der Barockkirche in London, die ausschließlich für Konzerte benutzt wird, wurde 2008 eine Aufnahme hergestellt, mit Musikern, die zu den besten Händel-Interpreten unserer Zeit gehören. Julia Doyle (Sopran), Iestyn Davies (Countertenor), Allan Clayton (Tenor) und Andrew Forster-Williams (Bass) bilden das stimmlich und interpretatorisch überzeugende Solistenquartett. »Niemand, wirklich niemand interpretiert jährlich den Messias besser als Polyphony unter dem Dirigenten Stephen Layton«, schrieb begeistert ein Kritiker der englischen Zeitung »Evening Standard«.
‘No-one, but no-one performs Messiah better every year than the choir Polyphony under the conductor Stephen Layton’ (Evening Standard)
Polyphony and Stephen Layton’s live Messiah at St John’s Smith Square has become one of the highlights of the musical season. The joyful sincerity and urgent brilliance of the performers has brought the familiar story to life again and again. Now this wonderful experience is available on disc, recorded in 2008 for a new release that will surely prove a strong competitor in a necessarily crowded market. Polyphony is joined by the Britten Sinfonia and a quartet of magnificent young soloists – all variously acclaimed as the premier Handel singers of the new generation.
'Polyphony are excellent … and Layton's direction is vivid and masterly' (The Sunday Times)
'Stephen Layton and his choir Polyphony are formidable performers' (Mail on Sunday)
'The new release has both a fine sense of style and is full of refreshing insights … The choir … sings with an effortless control and well-modulated fluency that takes wing … The acapella introduction of the final Amen is a masterstroke … Polyphony's new Messiah gives the daughters of Zion cause to 'Rejoice Greatly'' (BBC Music Magazine)
'Choral lightness and Layton's airy tempos convey the general feeling of good news … The quality of Julia Doyle's voice, shining, is fine, and 'Rejoice Greatly' finds her full of exultant expectancy at the thought of the Saviour's coming. The orchestra accompanies her with a springing step … A worthy addition to the discography' (International Record Review)
