Title on back cover is 'Messiah (Abridged).
Comes with an insert sheet including background on the music and this performance.
Identical to the Canada Philips abridge pressing but with a different Philips label.
"This performance of "Messiah" offers an exceptionally exciting approach to Handel's music. Conductor Colin Davis and Philips recording director Harold Lawrence have taken particular care to re-create, as closely as possible, the kind of performance that "Messiah" received in Handel's own time. In its purity an authenticity, this performance casts a fresh and brilliant light on this immortal masterpiece. To enhance your pleasure in this recording, full details of the musical and stylistic approach are included on the enclosed insert sheet."
