Telarc Robert Shaw Atlanta, Sylvia McNair & Kaaren Erickson NON-HIP
This is in good 1983 digital sound; I believe it was recorded with the Soundstream system but whereas the Carmina Burana same forces same era came out later on SACD, I don't believe Messiah did.
Excellent solo singing, especially from Alfreda Hodgson.
FWIW & YMMV.
