Fono Forum2016 DezemberByByRichard Lorber2016 Dezember"Laurence Cummings zeichnet mit dem NDR Chor diese verschiedenen Stimmungslagen genau nach. Man hört verstörte, energische oder auch empörte Töne".
The gramophone2017 JanuaryByByDavid Vickers2017 January"This live recording ... is conducted sagely by Laurence Cummings, whose direction is alert to the broad range of dramatic atmospheres, situations, characterisations and musical styles in the oratorio. Each strand in the ominous Overture is delineated transparently by the Göttingen Festival Orchestra. The NDR Choir are for the most part adroitly disciplined ... This is a valuable new perspective on Handel's late masterpiece".
