Gardiner's set has a great deal to commend it. The recitative is sung with exemplary care over pacing so that it sounds as it should, like heightened and vivid conversation, often to electrifying effect.

The orchestra, perfectly balanced with the singers in a very immediate acoustic, supports them, as it were 'sings' with them.
