"Choral & song choice: This is one of the best Judas Maccabeus performances ever ... To my ear, no choir has done justice to the intricacy of Handel's writing like the NDR Chor does. Incisive, sensitive and saturated with colour, the choir's sound moves effortlessly between intentionally nasty and utterly gorgeous ... Handel's work is among his most brilliant, and Cummings does it full justice".

"Laurence Cummings hat nicht nur für alle solistische Partien eine hervorragende Sänger-Quintett engagiert ... Vor allem aber atmet Cummings' Dirigat eine ungeheure musikantische Frische und gleichzeitig eine berührende Sensibilität bei der Umsetzung der musikalischen Emotionen in den Chören und Arien".

"Where [Cummings] and his expert Gottingen forces decisively score is in their vivid response to the music's elemental vigour ... Deanna Breiwick, rather more vibrant than today's typical Handel soprano, sings with firm, bright tone and free-soaring top notes. Sophie Harmsen fields a warm, evenly produced mezzo ... Kenneth Tarver, with an ideal blend of velvet and steel in the tone, outstrips all his rivals on disc ... This new recording would get my vote ... for the overall quality of the singing and its theatrical energy".
