I'm responding as fast as I can, because Steve deserves the best.  Start
with a disc of Heroic Arias sung by Bowman - King's contributions are
outstanding.  If that disc is a winner, go to Alexander Balus, one of
Handel's best oratorios.  If you also like that one, buy everything else
king's recorded of Handel.  Hyperion's the label.
