BCSD's El Mesías reflects the oratorio's malleable performance history dating back to Handel. Following the initial Dublin version of 1742, Handel never ceased working on it, constantly tailoring the score to suit the circumstances and singers available to him. Thus, Handel’s original autograph may be regarded as an abstract for a work that continues to evolve each time it is performed. In this spirit, we offer this Messiah as a gift for whom Spanish is a first language, and also an opportunity to discover this work in a new light and perspective.
