10 - Handel Messiah
11 -

What Handel achieved in Messiah is a wonderful blend of elegant, Italianate melody alternating with virtuosic vocalism for the soloists and the composer's characteristic ceremonial style which endeared him to the British public. Across the span of 250 years, Messiah still holds its extraordinary grip on musicians and audiences alike.

15 - “Mehta praises ‘the translucency of his playing, which sounds so sensible and thought-through, without giving any impression of being artificial.’ I think I know what he means. Maisky owns the heroic character of the work to such an extent that the first solo entry comes across as an extension of himself, played with great resolution, punching out the sforzando spread chords with no loss of tone quality.”
16 - The Strad

15 - The twin sisters Suher and Guher Pekinel were discovered by Herbert von Karajan in 1984 and have become one of the most celebrated piano duos in the world today. They are joined by Sir Colin Davis who, 45 years ago, conducted the ECO’s first national tour, first recording and conducted the first concert to bring the orchestra into the limelight.
16 -
17 - "As identical twins playing in a piano duo, the Pekinel sisters have an uncanny, almost telepathic ability to match each other to a microsecond in even the most elaborate rubato.”
18 - The Guardian
19 -
20 - "A superb performance that found Colin Davis at his liveliest, and the ECO at its most incisive and responsive. There seems no reason why Sir Colin Davis shouldn’t be leading the ECO’s 50th birthday concert.”
