Recommended DVD Recording

I have recently watched Part 1 of a most famous oratorio by a most famous and auspicious composer, conducted by a famous conductor. The recording so far is marvelous, the music superlative, and the performance splendid. What is the work and who are the artists, you ask? The work in question is Messiah by Georg Frideric Handel, and the conductor is Stephen Cleobury leading the choir of King's College at the historic Pieterskerk in Leiden, Holland.

There is so much to like about this recording. After I have watched the entire work I will have more to say. For now, be assured that the setting is stunning, and the performance beautiful. I highly commend it to you.
