Handel - Gloria, Dixit Dominus / Cummings, Kirkby

Georg Friedrich Handel

Gloria, Dixit Dominus 

Emma Kirby's radiant performance on the premiere recording of Handel's rediscovered 'Gloria' is well worth the entrance price. The Royal Academy's Baroque Orchestra also give a strong performance, albeit one lacking the richer tones of John Eliot Gardiner's period ensemble on the Philips (462 597-2) recording which appeared a couple of months later. By Handel's standards this a fairly straight setting of a traditional text, but all the expected flourishes, trills, sustains and extended runs are there to add the colour we would expect. The outcome is a splendid combination of required simplicity and appropriate elaboration.

G. F. Handel: Athalia - J. Sutherland, E. Kirkby, J. Bowman, A. Jones, C. Hogwood / The Academy of Ancient Music - 2CDs -1986

"The first great English oratorio. It was a brillant stroke of imagination to ask Dame Joan Sutherland to take the title-role ... her singing is truly magnificent in its grandeur and its clear, bell-like, perfectly focused tone. As a whole these two discs, excellently recorded, give an admirable and often striking realization of this work, and I warmly recommend it" - Gramophone

'Hogwood's splendid set is cast from strength, with Dame Joan Sutherland's richly vibrant singing contrasting with the pure silver of Emma Kirkby, not to mention the celestial treble of Aled Jones' - Peguin Guide
