loving the kings consort in particular, and Hyperion in general, I am using this "sampler" as menu to choose some new ( to me!) music for the coming winter....
My favourite King´s Consort recording is their version of Handel´s L´Allegro, Il Penseroso ed Il Moderato on the beautiful Milton poem. This cantata (it´s not really an oratorio because it´s subject is not religious) is one of Handel´s most unique and original works, but it´s not surprising that it´s not one of his most popular because it´s also one of his most difficult. Therefore there are not many recordings, Gardiner recorded it for ERATO in his early days, but it´s not complete, and John Nelson recorded it with modern instruments for Virgin, so Robert King has the one good recordings and it also happens to be one of his best.
Thanks for that Jose, I've been delving into Handel of late as fate would have it...
