Handel scored the oratorio for unusually large choral and orchestral forces, and the sound of this performance, with the RIAS-Kammerchor and Akademie für Alte Musik, Berlin, is warmly humanistic, beautifully paced, and tonally sumptuous, and is sung and played with stylistic assurance and lively dramatic passion. Sopranos Susan Gritton as his Queen and First Harlot, and Carolyn Sampson as the Queen of Sheba and Second Harlot sing with pure, soaring tone, beautiful coloratura, and vivid dramatic characterization. As Zadok, tenor Mark Padmore sounds a little thin, in an ger way, but bass David Wilson-Johnson makes a solid and compelling Levite.
