Reviews
'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
'…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
