Dirigenten Joachim Carlos Martini tar sig här an ett av Händels finaste sakrala verk - oratoriet "Salomon". De två tidigare utgåvorna med Händeloratorier har fått fin kritik:

...A thoughtful performance of a musically satisfying piece...
(BBC Music Magazine om "Athalia", 8.554364)

...Martini and his energetic forces, with exciting string and harpsichord attacks underpinning the more warlike utterances, are a definite plus in this live recording...
(Classics Today om "Deborah", 8.554785)
