Early Music America: “Triumphs In Handel Arias”

[Handel Arias with Avery Amereau and PBO] “Philharmonia Baroque and McGegan prove just as convincing and poised. Ensemble phrases are shaped into wordless dramatic declarations.” Read more at Early Music America.

Handel+Saul

San Francisco Classical Voice: “PBO’s Saul Is a Perfect Fit for Nicholas McGegan”

[Handel Saul with PBO] “The record of McGegan’s inimitable touch — unmistakable, in the case of Handel’s Saul — remains to savor. Everything about his artistry, including the buoyant and sprightly tempos, sly humor, deep reverence for beauty, and capacity for sincere emotional expression come through on this, his final live recording with PBO.”

“The recording was superbly produced, recorded, edited, mixed, and mastered by PBO’s former recording engineer, David v.R. Bowles of Swineshead Productions, LLC.”

“There are many times when the sound and music are so captivating that you may find yourself closing your eyes as you relish their beauties.” Read more at San Francisco Classical Voice.
