"In every particular, from the suave musicianship of Nicholas McGegan's orchestra to the six vibrant and tender soloists to the joyous contributions from the Philharmonia Chorale, Atalanta spills over with delights.

Handel's Acis und Galatea
"Acis is the prominent tenor Christoph Prégardien... therefore, the carefree ease of the young tenor Michael Slattery's Damon makes an even more moving impression."
KLASSIK

OPERA NEWS

Handel's Solomon
"Recorded live at the gorgeously rebuilt Frauenkirche Dresden Solomon
features some of Handel's most magnificent choruses and orchestral
passages. Soloists are critical in this work… Nicholas McGegan's need
make no apologies, especially the Solomon of countertenor Tim Mead and
tenor Michael Slattery as Zadok, both of whom contribute some very
lovely singing."

Handel's Samson
The young tenor Michael Slattery turns the messenger’s report of the destruction of the Idol’s Temple
into a highly dramatic miniature of the horrible scene, before the chorus, in high form, launches into an
impressive closing apotheosis. Great rejoicing and standing ovations for a memorable event."
Hessische Allgemeine
"A worthy soloist team offers colorful harmonious sound and astonishing dynamic shading. At the end, the dramatically intense young tenor Michael Slattery shares in this musical celebration."
