Maryland's Classical Music Station

12-11-21 Music in Maryland takes a Messiah Break!

Tis the season and tis Messiah season!  I love Handel’s Messiah and I love playing the Beecham version of Messiah every year on WBJC!  I see no reason why this tradition shouldn’t continue.  So sit back and enjoy the fabulous Beecham Messiah recorded in 1959.
