Review by Erica Iannotti

The album Theodora by Handel Gabrieli Consort & Players, Paul McCreesh is a magnificent masterpiece that showcases the brilliance of Handel's music. This album is a perfect example of the collaboration between the Gabrieli Consort & Players and Paul McCreesh, who have brought Handel's oratorio to life with their exceptional musicianship.

Theodora is a story of faith, love, and martyrdom that is set in the Roman Empire. The music in this album is a perfect reflection of the story, and it is beautifully executed by the Gabrieli Consort & Players. The orchestra is superbly balanced, and the choir's harmonies are breathtaking.

Paul McCreesh's interpretation of Handel's music is exceptional. He has brought out the beauty and depth of the music, and his direction of the choir and orchestra is impeccable. The soloists in this album are also outstanding. Their performances are powerful, emotional, and expressive.

The sound quality of this album is excellent. The recording is clear, and the balance between the instruments and the choir is perfect. The packaging of the album is also impressive. The booklet contains detailed information about the oratorio, the performers, and the recording.
