Coincidence or relation?

neither a coincidence nor relation.........

Mahler is my musical focus, so I go by the name David Mahler online, but thats not my real last name

I have so many versions of Bach's, Mozart and Beethoven's works its crazy. When it comes to Bach, I am a fan collector of different variations of the same piece, whether it is played with synthesizer of the ukulele, or a Jazzy version, I just can't get enough.
I had several versions of Handel's Messiah at one time but gave them all away with the exception of my favorite.

Of course ... so, do you want to collect recordings of me hitting my head and saying "stupid Larry"?

which is? and is it Dublin or later version?

I love this version:
Amazon.com: Händel: Messiah: Robert Hale, Timothy Mason, George Frederick Handel, John Eliot Gardiner, Charles Brett, English Baroque Soloists, Alastair Ross, Catherine Robbin, Margaret Marshall, Anthony Rolfe Johnson: Music
And if you go to London, the British Library has (had it when I saw them 3 yrs ago) the original partitura the soloists used in the Dublin debut, along with the music partitura signed by Handel himself.

Thanks! The reviews are great on Ammy too, I think I will pick it up.

I've never made it to the British Library ... need to add this to my "things to do list" !
