    Saul is one of Handel's most dramatic oratorios. In this work as in no other, the proximity to the opera of the time is remarkable. The score requires a very colorful orchestra: in addition to the classical cast of an opera orchestra, trombones, a harp, a solo organ, a glockenspiel and large timpani are needed. The chorus is the main actor in the drama, sometimes also taking on the role of commentator as in Greek tragedy.
    David has defeated Goliath and the Philistines, earning the admiration of the people and the jealousy of King Saul. Jonathan, the King's son, declares his faithful friendship to the hero. But his father orders him to kill him...

    Klare und saubere Interpretation dieses großartigen und perfekt komponierten Meisterwerks mit durchsichtigen und gut phrasierten Tönen aller instrumente sowie gut vereinigten Stimmen des ausgezeichneten Chors und vor allem herrlichen Stimmen aller unvergleichlichen Solisten. Der ebenso unvergleichliche Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Kammerorchester im inspirierenden Tempo und mit dramatischer Dynamik. Alles ist wunderschön!

    Vigoureuse et dramatique interprétation d'un chef-d'oeuvre.
    Cet oratorio traduit à merveille les temps héroïques qu'il relate et les tourments des protagonistes.
    Les choeurs sont magistralement menés, la voix du regretté Fischer-Dieskau plane sur l'ensemble.

    I love this recording, which is why I know that it was recorded in 1985, not 1995 as stated in the description. Thanks for the upload!

      @@classicalmusicreference What is the second version? There was a performance of "Saul" under Harnoncourt, with, among others, Florian Boesch and David Hansen, played in the concert hall of The Wiener Musikverein in 2015, but - as far as I know - this performance isn't released.
