The series of recordings of the Abbey of Maulbronn is prolific, and after a very good Messiah, we arrive now Solomon, another oratorio of Haendel. Solomon is a rather fixed work, a single scene, that of the famous judgment, presenting a little bit of "action", but the music, powerful and refined, is the most inspired Handel, and the virtuoso treatment of the choruses reveals a incomparable mastery.
The strengths of this version are quite numerous, starting with the Maulbronner Kammerchor which has a lot to do in the act of the Queen of Sheba, and which seduces by its excellent behavior, a good mastery of polyphony and strong and very strong stamps. present. The chorus does not display the overall perfection of the best English formations, and some intonations are a little questionable, but it is largely catching up with the level of dramatic engagement and theatricality. The cast is dominated by the ladies: Nancy Argenta sings the role of the Egyptian Queen and then that of the real mother in the Scene of Judgment. She is virtuoso brilliant perfection but a little cold in Egyptian Queen, but knows how to find human and heartbreaking accents when she begs Solomon to spare his child.
Laurie Reviol does even better, very nice timbre shiny and a bit fragile in the treble, but a beautiful consistency in the medium: she is a very credible child cheater, green and cold, and it is even more convincing in Queen of Saba, giving a real singing lesson in the air "Ev'ry sight these eyes behold" which she says to delight. In the title role Michael Chance, who keeps a touching medium, but whose timbre has no color, the treble more accurately, and whose plaintive tone is really nothing royal. It is largely supplanted by the Zadok of the excellent Julian Podger, tenor style, vocalisation ensured and light and light timbre, which will be criticized some ascents to high enough perilous. The bass Stefen Balbach is a simple sidekick, the song is correct but too vibrated, and the voice, very gray, has little amplitude. Jurgen Budday conducts his excellent orchestra with his usual qualities: clarity, sensuality, and elegance, and great attention to the breathing of the soloists. The sound of this concert is remarkable, clear and airy, it helps to make this album a very recommendable version for who would like to discover this beautiful oratorio.–Richard Letawe
