Judith Blegen (April 27, 1943, Lexington, Kentucky) is an American soprano, particularly associated with light lyric roles of the French, Italian and German repertories. Blegen was raised and attended high school in Missoula, Montana, during which time she began voice lessons with John L. Lester, head of the voice department at the University of Montana

Performer: Judith Blegen, Katherine Ciesinski, John Aler, John Cheek. Orchestra: Musica Sacra Choir, Musica Sacra Orchestra. Conductor: Richard Westenburg. Composer: Georg Friederich Handel. Messiah, with Musica Sacra directed by Richard Westinburg, is not as electrifying as, . the recording by Sir Andrew Davice with the Toronto Symphony, is a quite adequate presentation of Handel's masterpiece. The tenor here, John Aler, tries mightily but has been bested by more recent tenors such as Phillip Langridge or John Mark Ainsley. Tempi in the arias are often slow compared to more recent "authentic" es annoyingly so.

Richard Westenberg and his Musica Sacra fill Avery Fisher and Carnegie Halls annually with only a slightly larger ensemble. And tonight in Avery Fisher Hall, The National Chorale Council presents a ''Messiah Sing-In'' where the audience is the chorus - one in a series of holiday-timed performances of the work around the country. We are fortunate to be able to document this progress on recordings - over 18 stereo performances are currently listed in the Schwann catalog. cl11 However, the new Musica Sacra performance on RCA (ARC3 - 4352) is a different story. The digital recording features Judith Blegen, Katherine Ciesinski, John Aler, and John Cheek. Mr. Westenberg's is a slightly larger-scaled performance than Mr. Dunn's, and the singers are smoother, with the exception of the gruff Mr. Cheek. Soloists and chorus project words and mood with sensitivity.
