Product Information

Der vielseitig renommierte Kölner Kammerchor tut sein Übriges, um mit dieser CD an die bisherigen Erfolge mit den Live-Aufnahmen von Händels Saul, Susanna, Belshazzar und Theodora anzuknüpfen: »Händel at his best ...« (Die Zeit) – »First rate ...« (Fanfare) – »Auf höchstem Niveau ...« (FonoForum) – »Exemplarische Uitvoering ...« (Klassike Zaken).
