Gauvin radio alert

This Sunday WCRB runs Handel's La Resurrezione from last year's Boston Early Music Festival, with Karina Gauvin, Teresa Wakim, Aaron Sheehan, Christian Immler, and Kelsey Lauritano. WCRB usually archives these things for a while, so no worries if 7pm ET is way past the witching hour for your part of the planet.

sundry Messiahs

On the off chance that you, the splendid readership of this joint, need an extra Messiah or three this year, Trinity Wall Street -- the way downtown Manhattan church with its own baroque orchestra -- is live videostreaming all three of its performances next week somewhere around here. That's Dec. 15, 16, and 17 at 7:30pm ET. Singers TBA, but the band is not to be sneezed at.

Moreover, as Dr T has just pointed out below, WCRB is presently running Boston's venerable Handel & Haydn Society performance from last week, and that should be showing up here pretty soon. (Scroll down and you'll find a Semele while you wait.)

not Messiah

If you've burned out on Messiah season but are still jonesing for some Handel oratorio action, for a small and modest fee (5 euros) Sonostream.tv has Saul on demand from this past summer's Glyndebourne run, directed by Barry Kosky, with Christopher Purves, Iestyn Davies, Lucy Crowe, Sophie Bevan, and Paul Appleby.
