The key here is quite simple. As one of the other reviewers on this page has said, Saul is one of Handel's "operatic" oratorios. Who best to present same than Rene Jacobs? M. Jacobs has been criticized for an overly dramatic approach to choral music at the same time he has been soundly praised for the same quality. So it is up to you to decide. Unlike some of the other astute reviewers on this page, I have only a very old recording to compare Jacobs's performance to, and that comparison happens only in my head, since I no longer own the LP recording of that performance. In any event, the comparison would be invidious to say the least. What I hear in Jacobs' recording is a commitment to the score and more importantly, a commitment to the period that created this very great music. Read More

From the very start you know you are entering a masterpiece performed by one of the greatest living conductors. First the use of instruments. Each one has a particular part to play and, even in the most unified tuttis of the orchestra, each instrument plays its role and can be followed faithfully without getting lost in some kind of blended melting pot. This is admirable from the opening notes right on till the end. Then Handel uses voices in a very creative way too. David is an alto, which is normal in the 18th century since he is the hero and no one is going to cast a shadow on him. The alliance of this alto with the tenor Jonathan or the soprano Michal, or even the antagonistic soprano Merab, leads to giving each voice a real dramatic depth. The two sopranos are not used the same way since they ... Read More

5.Signature Series: A Tribute to Neil Diamond by: Di Angelo Orchestra June 20, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.52
Mama told me always to read the fine print. A Tribute to Neil Diamond should come with a warning on the cover: "DANGER: Do not operate a motor vehicle while listening to this CD!" I purchased the Signature Series because of "Solitary Man," which Diamond said was his favorite song. The Di Angelo Orchestra created elevator music for the dentist office. I could not get through the second track. Neil Diamond himself would not listen to it.

If you like Diamond's early songs done with the same punch and edge he had then this is the CD for you. You can hear his maturation over time, but these are his no frills songs that started his career. I wish there were fewer obscure songs on the CD, but they too are a revelation of his development. Very worth it for Neil Diamond fans. Karen Weaver
