Sinfonia from Act III
Solomon "Adieu, fair queen, and in thy breast". Queen of Sheba, Solomon "Ev'ry joy that wisdom knows". It is weak across the board! The choir needs to find a new director on the basis of this weak performance. God help the soloists who must have felt strangled at birth in the midst of such ineptitude - though to be fair none of them compete with those on the nearest rival using as did Handel a female lead set from Gardiner.
Gardiner comes in for a fair amount of flack in reviews, but in this work he sounds compared with Reuss and McCreesh, musical and committed. At the end of the day, the two junior conductors compared with him, or two highly illustrious Handelians from the first "authentic" wave - Simon and Somary - know all about effects and nothing about musical performance, their approach simulating pace and drama, while entirely lacking depth or polish.
