Rezensionen

'A profusion of colourful delights ... persuasive evidence indeed that what may seem mediocre on the page can spring to life, given the artistry and conviction of performers of this calibre' (BBC Music Magazine Top 1000 CDs Guide)

'Excellent - don't miss it.' (BBC Music Magazine)

'... finally received a recording worthy of its grandeur' (Los Angeles Times)

'Una interpretación absolutamente arrolladora' (CD Compact, Spain)

'An outstanding achievement' (CDReview)

Rezensionen

M. Hengelbrock in FonoForum 3/93: "So ist das Klangbild von einer außerordentlichen Kul- tur geprägt; die technische Perfektion des Orchesters wirkt nie artistisch, und der von Edward Higginbottom optimal vorbereitete Choir of New College zeigt, daß Knabenstimmen der Ausdrucksvielfalt Händelscher Chöre vollauf gerecht werden können."
