The Monteverdi Choir, English Baroque Soloists, John Eliot Gardiner (conductor)
GRAMOPHONE AWARD WINNER, PENGUIN GUIDE ROSETTE WINNER
For incisive choral singing and sheer theatrical excitement, this has few rivals. The choir pounces on every dramatic and textual detail, and the soloists project with bags of weight and vibrato. Big and thrilling. (Simon Heighes, BBC Music Magazine (London) 01. July 2007)
