Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars The finest British oratorio tenor.......2005-01-14

Webster Booth is remembered today for his musical association with his wife, Anne Ziegler, but he was also one of the finest oratorio tenors of the twentieth century.

On this CD he is in command of every emotional nuance of the recitative. 'Deeper and deeper still' from Jephtha is a good example of the emotional range. His diction is perfect and the Handelian runs are effortless.

He had an amazingly wide range, extending from a baritonal quality in the lower registers to the effortless high notes in the arias from 'Acis and Galatea'.

He also sings some standard operatic arias on the CD. All these are sung in English and he observes every expression mark to the letter.

I can thoroughly recommend this CD to potential buyers.
