When I a kid, when I'd get angsty, I'd pull out the MoTab Choir & Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra four record, eight side version of Handel's Messiah and listen to the whole thing. I thought it was a bit of heaven.
But now I know better. The best version I've found, on YouTube, features the King's College Choir, Cambridge, (32 males, men and boys) and the Brandenburg Consort, about half the size of the Philadelphia orchestra. Those 32 kids and men have a purity that I never heard in the 360 member MoTab choir. It's no contest.
