Our Take

Ah, CHOR DES BRDIJKSTRA's rendition of Handel's Messiah is like a gust of fresh air blowing through the stuffy halls of classical music. With a quirky twist on a beloved masterpiece, this album is a joyride from start to finish.

From the moment the first notes hit your ears, you're transported to a world where Handel meets modernity in a way that feels both familiar and refreshingly new. The choir's harmonies are tight and polished, but with just the right amount of cheekiness to keep things interesting.

The standout moments on the album are when CHOR DES BRDIJKSTRA takes risks and experiments with the traditional Handel sound. Whether it's a funky bassline sneaking in under the chorus or a sudden shift in tempo that catches you off guard, these moments elevate the album from mere homage to something truly special.

But it's not all fun and games - there are also moments of breathtaking beauty on Handelmessiahin. The choir's voices soar and intertwine in ways that will send shivers down your spine, reminding you of the power and majesty of Handel's original work.

Overall, CHOR DES BRDIJKSTRA's Handelmessiahin is a delightful romp through a classic piece of music, with enough twists and turns to keep even the most seasoned classical music aficionado on their toes. So sit back, relax, and let the magic of this album wash over you - you won't regret it.
