The three Handel Latin psalm settings on this 2024 release by the RIAS Kammerchor and Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin were all composed in 1707 in Italy when Handel was 21 or 22 and had just unleashed his talent on the wide world. The Dixit Dominus, HWV 232, and Nisi Dominus, HWV 238, are well known, the soprano-and-chorus setting Laudate pueri, HWV 237, perhaps a bit less so. This recording, in any event, is state-of-the-art Handel. The music seems to catch the composer advancing by leaps and bounds into his mature style, and conductor Justin Doyle seems to catch this with his muscular performances of music that seamlessly integrates solid blocks of polyphony with irresistible melody. The RIAS Kammerchor here is amply sized, with ten sopranos (two fewer in Laudate pueri), looking forward to a time in England when Handel would have larger forces at his disposal. The performances are vigorous, with attention throughout to the tone painting, never overdone, that Handel includes at various places. Perhaps the best of all is the set of soloists, headed by veteran soprano Carolyn Sampson in Laudate pueri, but displaying some wonderful up-and-comers, notably countertenor Alex Potter, in the two larger works. With clear, direct sound from the Haus des Rundfunks in Berlin from Harmonia Mundi, this is Handel at his best.
