.."the choruses are fresh, resilient and fast without sounding breathless"-Guardian
'…the choruses are fresh, resilient and fast without sounding breathless, and the set's special claim lies in the choice of soloists: the soprano, Joan Rogers, and the bass, Bryn Terfel, both give formidable performances.'
- The Guardian
'Richard Hickox… has succeeded in conveying to me the humanity of Handel's masterly score, its contrasts, its gestures, its radiance and its tenderness.'
- Gramophone
This account of one of the world's best-known large choral compositions is performed by some of Britain's most renowned singers, under the direction of Richard Hickox.
