Taylor conducted Handel with nobility and vigour

“Daniel Taylor conducted Handel’s Dixit Dominus with his own hand-picked vocal and instrumental ensemble from Toronto.

The Dixit is such a dramatic, striking work that it’s easy for conductors to exploit extremes of dynamic range and tempo. Taylor’s version had nobility and plenty of vigour, but stayed well within the bounds of sane execution. The choir was undoubtedly the star: fresh, precise in its attack, with a rich, vibrant, present sound that belied its small numbers.”
