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
