If there is a preeminent authority on Handel’s Messiah, it may well be Bernard Labadie, who has conducted this repertoire monument over a hundred times. Labadie’s expertise and the united forces of The Cleveland Orchestra and Chorus make for an unforgettable rendition of this beloved oratorio. From poignant arias to blazing choruses — including the indomitable “Hallelujah” chorus — Messiah is a perennial holiday favorite for its thrilling drama and operatic breadth.
