Handel: Messiah

“Personne peut-être n'a affirmé avec autant de force la victoire de l'esprit sur la mort ; personne n'a parlé avec autant de tendre fermeté de l'acceptation et de la douceur. Le message de Haendel s'adresse aux hommes accablés par la douleur et par les complications de la vie. Tout le monde peut le comprendre : il est simple et il est écrit pour tout le monde. On lui reproche parfois cette simplicité ; elle est le cœur même de sa force, lui permettant d'être entendu et aimé par ceux qui ne vont jamais au concert. Ce qui devrait être l'ambition de tout musicien.” (J.-F. Labie)
