BBC Music Magazine October 2009 – ‘CD REVIEW’
HANDEL: Serse
Judith Malafronte, Jennifer Smith, Brian Asawa, Lisa Milne, Susan Bickley; The Hanover Band and Chorus/Nicholas McGegan

Reviewer – George Pratt
"This 12 year-old recording remains among the best of Handel opera on disc. McGegan's direction is lively, his singers excellent. Orchestral playing stylish. Only a 'shoe-string' booklet mars its re-issued format."
