Our Take

John Eliot Gardiner's latest offering, "Handel's Dixit Dominus," is a delightful romp through the Baroque era that will have you tapping your toes and nodding your head in approval.

From the opening notes of the titular track, Gardiner showcases his mastery of Handel's intricate compositions, weaving together lush harmonies and dynamic rhythms with ease. The vocal performances are nothing short of stunning, with the Zadokites Choir delivering powerful and emotive renditions of Handel's complex choral arrangements.

But it's not just the singing that impresses on this album - Gardiner's orchestra is a force to be reckoned with, creating a rich tapestry of sound that perfectly compliments the vocal performances. The musicianship on display here is truly top-notch, with every note and every phrase played with precision and nuance.

On tracks like "De torrente in via bibet" and "Dominus a dextris tuis," Gardiner and his ensemble truly shine, showcasing their uncanny ability to bring out the emotional depth and complexity of Handel's music. This is an album that demands to be listened to in its entirety, preferably with a glass of wine and a cozy fire to set the mood.

In conclusion, "Handel's Dixit Dominus" is a triumph for John Eliot Gardiner and his Zadokites Choir. It's a must-listen for fans of Baroque music, and a testament to Gardiner's unparalleled skill as a conductor. Grab your powdered wig and buckle up for a wild ride through the world of Handel - you won't be disappointed.
