Robert King’s recording of ‘Joshua’ (Hyperion) must surely be regarded as one of the greatest of all interpretations of Handel on disc: it has, in the three principals, James Bowman, Emma Kirkby and John Mark Ainsley, an Othniel, Achsah and Joshua who reach every possible pinnacle of the art of baroque singing, and it is directed with such grace and affection that any other version would find it hard to equal… Melanie Eskenazi
‘With first-rate casts and careful attention to Handel's original texts, King has blown the dust off some magnificent music’ (BBC Record Review)
