Handel: Solomon
Winchester Cathedral Choir,
FestspielOrchester Gottingen
Nicholas McGegan, conductor
Carus

“McGegan conducts a warmly subtle and highly intelligent performance that grows and builds naturally through the course of the entire oratorio....Most satisfying of all is the superb playing of the FestspielOrchester Gottingen (a hand-picked group of instrumentalists from most of Europe and North America’s best period-instrument orchestras). McGegan’s return to recording Handel’s major works has taken much too long, but his satisfying performance of Solomon has been worth waiting for.”
-- David Vickers, Goldberg
