Classical-music.com's
free download of the week is "Hallelujah!" from Handel's
Messiah. This is a recording of a live performance by the B'Rock Belgian Baroque Orchestra.
This recording is an 'immensely rewarding interpretation' writes Anna Picard in the January issue of BBC Music Magazine
, where this recording was awarded a five-star review.
The previous offering--Mendelssohn's
Sonata was a debacle. This free weekly classical music offering, however, downloaded and played just fine on the MP3 player. In fact, with me already having an account with Classical-music.com, the whole process was easy peasy. Here's
the download page.
