About

The Dallas Bach Society, with their director and prominent harpsichordist, James Richman, provide a masterful debut recording with Onyx Classics, Handel’s Messiah, a new edition provided by Malcolm Bruno, based on the original 1741 score.

Handel had composed the work at an astonishing pace, spending less than a month in the Summer of 1741.

At its premiere in Dublin, over 700 patrons overcrowded the Musick hall, with the ladies being requested to dress ‘without hoops’ in help make room.

Messiah was an instant hit and is established as one of Handel’s greatest works.
