Editorial Reviews

Contemporary soul-pop artists, including Patti Austin, Tevin Campbell, Stevie Wonder, Quincy Jone, Take 6, Howard Hewett, and Dianne Reeves, take a pop-song approach to Handel's classic Christmas oratorio. Handel's wonderful melodies are updated with synthesizers, drum machines, and slick pop production from Quincy Jones and Take 6's Mervyn Warren. ~ All Music Guide, All Music Guide All Music Guide

July 13, 2003: As a musician who has played "The Messiah" numerous times, I have to say that I was amazed at what I heard. I have never witnessed a compilation of artists create such an original sound out of music that has been performed so often. It is a purchase you will cherish.
