This Easter we are having dinner with friends and listening to The Messiah, by G.F. Handel. (For the record, notwithstanding that The Messiah is often played at Christmas, the Hallelujah Chorus is a celebration of the Resurrection, not the Advent.)
FWIW, I have the CD with Trevor Pinnock and the English Concert, which is somewhat somber compared to the one with Georg Solti and the Chicago Symphony.
