Messiah : Understanding and Performing Handel's Masterpiece

This book on Handel's Messiah reflects Helmuth Rilling's remarkable skills, both as a conductor and as an educator. It is literally a 'study-guide' for conductors and performers which shows the step-by-step thought process Rilling uses in preparing a score - a methodology which can be applied to any work. More importantly, Rilling challenges the reader to probe Handel's thinking - to consider ways of more effectively communicating the deeper layers of meaning found within this masterwork. [H. Royce Saltzman, Executive Director Emeritus, Oregon Bach Festival]

Sven-David Sandström: Messiah : Helmuth Rilling gewidmet

The Messiah, by the Swedish composer Sven-David Sandström, was commissioned by the Oregon Bach Festival and the Internationale Bachakademie Stuttgart to commemorate the Handel anniversary year 2009. In accordance with the wishes of these two institutions, the work is based on Charles Jennen’s English libretto which Handel set in his famous oratorio more than 260 years ago. Great expression and orchestral color characterize this Messiah of the 21st century, in which for Sandström modernity and euphony do not represent a contradiction corresponding to his artistic credo: “My music should be understandable on first hearing and should touch people.”
