Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Vanguard has an excellent catalog of Handel oratorios, ably conducted and often very well sung by the cream of English oratorio singers--in this case with Heather Harper and John Shirley-Quirk among them. As far as the performance as a whole goes, however, it must inevitably yield before more modern versions, whether on period instruments or not, which play the work complete and have a more lively and informed approach to Baroque performance practice. Fans of the singers need not hesitate, though. --David Hurwitz
