Bernard Héritier, direction
"Un des points forts de cet excellent ensemble fondé et dirigé par Bernard Héritier [...] réside dans une approche passionnée et rigoureuse de la musique ancienne, dans l'envie de comprendre de l'intérieur les mécanismes d'écriture et les contextes propres à chaque œuvre. Une récente immersion des chanteurs dans l'univers de plein-chant monial de la Valsainte (ndlr : Solitudo) donnait lieu à un disque étonnant et grave. Les retrouvailles avec Le Messie promettent une intensité comparable, entre intériorité et jubilation."

Écouter l'album
Accompagnato - All they that see Him, laugh Him to scorn
Accompagnato - And Io, the angel of the Lord came upon them
Accompagnato - And suddenly there was with the angel
Accompagnato - Behold, I tell you a mystery
Accompagnato - But thou didst not leave His soul in hell
Accompagnato - Comfort ye,comfort ye my people
Accompagnato - For behold, darkness shall cover the earth
Accompagnato - He was cut off out of the land of the living
Accompagnato - Hy rebuke hath broken His heart
Accompagnato - Thus saith the Lord, the Lord of Hosts
Air - Behold, and see if there be any sorrow
Air - But who may abide the day of His coming
Air - Every valley shall be exalted
Air - He was despised
Air - How beautiful are the feet of them
Air - I know that my Redeemer liveth
Air - If God be for uns, who can be against us
Air - The people that walked in darkness
Air - The trumpet shall sound and the dead shall be raised
Air - Thou art gone up on high
Air - Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron
Air - Why do the nations so furiously rage together
Air Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion
Air et choeur - O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion
Choeur - All we like sheep, have gone astray
Choeur - And He shall purify
Choeur - And the glory, the glory of the Lord
Choeur - And with His stripes we are healed
Choeur - Behold the Lamb of God
Choeur - But thanks be to God
Choeur - Fo unto uns a Child is born
Choeur - Glory to God in the highest
Choeur - Hallelujah
Choeur - He trusted in God
Choeur - His yoke is easy, His burthen is light
Choeur - Let all the angels of God worship Him
Choeur - Let us break their bonds asunder
Choeur - Lift up your heads
Choeur - Since by man came death
Choeur - Surely, He hath borne our griefs and carried our sorrows
Choeur - The Lord gave the word
Choeur - Their sound is gone out into all lands
Choeur - Worthy is the Lamb that was slain
Duo - He shall feed His flock like a sheperd
Pifa, recitatif - There were sheperds abiding in the field
Récitatif - Then shall be brought to pass
Symphonie
