Reviews


"I have no reservations about encouraging anyone interested in Handel to buy this set and to acquaint themselves with the many delights of this grossly neglected work"

The Gramophone

"No lover of Handel should be without this wonderful work, now at last done justice on CD"

Hi Fi News


"With first-rate casts and careful attention to Handel's original texts, King has blown the dust off some magnificent music"
