Background: 'A very welcome account of Handel’s Athalia. Much of the choral singing is forthright and spirited. The solo singing is also on a high level. There is Emma Kirkby, cool, poised and alluring in Josabeth’s arias; Aled Jones producing very beautiful sound as the boy Joas; Anthony Rolfe Johnson, graceful in Mathan’s music; and to cap it all there is Dame Joan Sutherland in commanding form in the title-role. Dependable and often pleasantly crisp playing from the Academy of Ancient Music, and an excellent recording.' Gramophone
