Performer: NDR Vokalensemble

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

Doing justice to the vast scale of Mahler's "Symphony of a Thousand" is itself the mightiest of tasks. Semyon Bychkov and his NDR forces only partially succeed.

At the Göttingen Handel Festival, Handel's English oratorio features a choice array of soloists in a more than satisfactory outing under artistic director George Petrou.
