Mogens Dahl Kammerkor performs Handel's oratorio Messiah together with the British period-instrument orchestra Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and a group of international soloists, conducted by Mogens Dahl.
The orchestra was founded in 1986 and plays on instruments matching the periods of the works it performs, which the choir's programme notes describe as a more authentic approach. The choir sings with a much smaller line-up than is usual, reflecting the 1742 Dublin premiere, where the choir reportedly had 32 singers.
Soloists are soprano Elsa Benoit, contralto Cecelia Hall, tenor Robin Tritschler and bass Dominic Barberi.
