Soloists are top-notch,\nincluding the wonderful Arleen Auger and Anne Sofie von Otter (unforgettable\nin He was despised) and a delightfully rumbling basso profundo in John\nTomlinson (talk about furious raging!). The choir is small, but disciplined,\nand makes a full sound with the kind of attention to dynamics and expression\nthat recalls Robert Shaw in his glory days (try Since by man came death).\nPinnock's conducting favors the clear textures and crisparticulation of\nthe period
