'...it is not likely to be surpassed on disc for a long time.' The Penguin Guide to Opera on Compact Disc
John Eliot Gardiner is regarded as the finest Handel interpreter of his generation.
At mid-price for the first time, this is a multi award-winning recording from Sir John Eliot Gardiner.
John Eliot Gardiner's ground-breaking recordings of Handel's great biblical oratorios are as fresh and vibrant today as when they were first recorded.
This recording of Saul - one of the most operatic of the oratorios - follows the Originals release of Solomon and features a superb cast of Handelians including countertenor Derek Lee Ragin in the central role of David. The biblical drama is heightened by the live recording, made at the Handel Festival in the German town of Göttingen in 1989.
