Awards and reviews

The singers are well supported by Peter Neumann and the Collegium Cartusianum. Neumann’s speeds are vigorous without being driven. They open with a fine, crisp performance of the overture and continue in this heartening vein. The chorus, the Kölner Kammerchor, relish all of the opportunities for characterisation that Handel gives them.
