I was fortunate to have attended the live Downtown Messiah at the Wintergarden on 12/18/03.
It was amazingly inventive and thoroughly enjoyable. As a musician (oboist) who has performed The Messiah many times and had listened to it countless times, I found myself thrilled at the varieties of genres expressed in the performance.
Has the performance been recorded? If not, why not?!! If so, please advise where I may purchase a copy.
I look forward to next year
I was there and I was at the Bottom Line with the Downtown Messiah. Does anyone have a copy of their performance?
