In Reply to: RE: There are two different Karl Richter recordings of Messiah (Der Messias) posted by Chris from Lafayette on February 23, 2017 at 09:30:01
I don't believe that the one sung in German is actually the Mozart arrangement - it's just the usual Messiah sung in German.

There's also another DG recording in German that *is* the Mozart arrangement, conducted by Mackerras. Quite good, actually.
I actually have ANOTHER Mackerras recording of the Mozart version on RCA/BMG (now Sony, I guess):
For some reason however, Mackerras reverts to the original in "The Trumpet Shall Sound", so we don't get to hear Mozart's re-scoring of this aria for French horn! I mean, if you're going to do the Mozart version, why not go all the way? (Hmm. . . I guess that would include singing it in German though!)
