The HiFi Hobbyist New Year Podcast - Two AIs debate how to perform Messiah

Welcome to this week’s podcast, which is a generated debate about the different approaches to performing and recording Handel’s Messiah, as discussed in last week's Christmas podcast.

The AI protagonists debate the merits of the newer authentic or "historically informed" performances compared to the more traditional larger scale performances popular in the early years of vinyl LP records.

I do hope that you enjoy the podcast!
