Review by Priya Raman★★★Sample
I respect it more than I love it. “Messiah, HWV 56, Pt. 1 Scene 3: For Unto Us a Child Is Born (chorus: Andante allegro)” is undeniable though.

Review by Tomasz W.★★½Sample
I wanted to love this so badly. “Messiah, HWV 56, Pt. 2 Scene 2: He Was Cut Off (tenor recitative)” is fine I guess.
