In Our Time · Handel's Messiah · 7 May 2026 podcast

Why would that have a particular resonance for Jennings? voice-verified

Larry Zazo, Handel composes Messiah in 1741, and we'll discuss the first performances in a minute. voice-verified

But can you tell us about the singers available to Handel, the singers that Handel liked, and why that mattered to him so much? voice-verified

Can we confirm or otherwise that you sang the same part as Susanna Kibber? voice-verified

Donald, before we get into the work itself, as far as I understand, before he wrote Messiah, he was laid low by some serious health problems, including a very serious stroke. voice-verified

And before he wrote Messiah, what are the works which lead up to Messiah, as it were? voice-verified

Well, Ruth, let me ask you about Dublin, first of all. voice-verified

Was everyone surprised that Messiah was premiered there? voice-verified

Quite a review. voice-verified

Larry, have you had reviews like that? voice-verified

I should point out that you've performed in Messiah many, many occasions. voice-verified

So he went to Oratorio not because he was having some sort of spiritual... voice-verified

I wondered about this because I noticed that he managed to buy a house in Brook Street in Mayfair in the 1720s. voice-verified

OK, we're trying to get a sense of why it grips the audience as much as it does. voice-verified

Why is Messiah different from so many other oratorios? voice-verified

Well, why is it unlike anything? voice-verified

I'm interested that you and Donald both talk about the text and imagery. voice-verified

Larry, what about the music? voice-verified

But I'm interested, you're also talking about the text. voice-verified

I'm really interested in why the music speaks to us as well. voice-verified
