…Thomas Cooley makes a tragic Samson, from his first soliloquy on his mental anguish, through a heart-rending 'Total eclipse' to his humility and returning strength in Act III. Sophie Daneman is a convincing Dalila, though every sustained note acquires a rather prominent vibrato. Doubling as 'An Israelite woman' in Act III, her first passage-work in 'Let the bright Seraphim' is thrilling. Nicholas McGegan's chorus numbers almost 50, large by today's fashion, but transparent and characterful in its roles as Israelites and Philistines...The SACD recording retains crystal clarity in the dangerously reverberant acoustic of Dresden’s Frauenkirche.
