Timotheus oder die Gewalt der Musik

"The instrumental playing, by the Collegium Cartusianum, could be just a bit "tighter" and more crisply executed in places, but overall it's terrific and very much in the spirit of Handel's ambitious scoring. The choir is fabulous, really involved and reveling ... Strongly recommended".

"Neumann's forces respond magnificently. Solo voices have a rare, natural ease ... In short, this recording is an outstanding contribution to the Handel anniversary celebrations".

"There is a fine trio of soloists, however, who make most of their more lightly scored arias. And while those who already regard Mozart's Handel arrangements as a crime against authenticity will faint at the monstrousness of it all, this reconstruction does at least suggest how early 19th-century music lovers understood Handel".
