About the album
A new collection of arias fulfils David Daniels’ long-cherished wish to explore the English Handel of the dramatic oratorios, with glorious music from Belshazzar, Semele, Saul, Jephtha, Messiah and Theodora - a particular favourite, from which David includes four arias for Didymus, a role he sang with outstanding success at his Glyndebourne debut in 1995.
‘The sensuous colours of Daniels’ falsetto are ideal in this music, which he sings with beguiling erotic ambiguity.’ Gramophone
