The Queen of Sheba is clearly in a hurry in this account of Handel's oratorio at the Queen Elizabeth Hall. 

In Hamburg, George Petrou’s Göttingen presentation of Solomon weaves regal authority and tender humanity into a vivid exploration of justice’s timeless complexity. 

Despite the longueurs of the piece, this performance of Solomon was pretty much perfect. 

Led by Pál Németh, the Savaria Baroque Orchestra, the Debrecen Kodály Choir and a fine ensemble of soloists gave a memorable performance of Händel's oratorio.

Handel's Solomon is given a revelatory performance by an all-star cast of principles, La Chapelle de Québec and the Violons du Roy under the direction of Bernard Labadie.

Auckland choir Viva Voce’s final offering for the year was a semi-staged performance of Handel’s late oratorio Solomon. An attempt to stage Solomon must deal with two important issues: firstly, not a lot dramatic happens to actually stage, and secondly, the three acts bear little dramatic relation to each other.
