Die SACD verwendet eine höhere digitale Auflösung als die Audio-CD und bietet außerdem die Möglichkeit, Mehrkanalton (Raumklang) zu speichern. Um die Musik in High-End-Qualität genießen zu können, wird ein spezieller SACD-Player benötigt. Dank Hybrid-Funktion sind die meisten in unserem Shop mit "SACD" gekennzeichneten Produkte auch auf herkömmlichen CD-Playern abspielbar. Dann allerdings unterscheidet sich der Sound nicht von einer normalen CD. Bei Abweichungen weisen wir gesondert darauf hin (Non-Hybrid).

Die erste Fassung des Oratoriums schrieb Händel, als er für den Earl of Carnarvon (ab 1719 Duke of Chandos) auf dessen Landsitz Cannons arbeitete. Sie besteht zu mehr als der Hälfte aus Übernahmen aus älteren Werken, unter anderem der Brockes-Passion. Händel bearbeitete die Komposition noch mehrfach bis 1732, als es als Oratorium "Esther" eine Wiederaufführungs-Serie erlebte. Das Dunedin Consort und John Butt legen auf ihrer dritten Händelproduktion die nach aktuellem Wissensstand frühest mögliche Rekonstruktion des Oratoriums vor. Wiederum vertraut Butt auf die herausragende Sängerriege um Susan Hamilton, Nicholas Mulroy und Matthew Brook. Als Gast in der Rolle des Priesters: Robin Blaze!
- The Dunedin Consort’s highly anticipated new recording of ‘Esther - First Reconstructable Version (Cannons), 1720’ is the third recording in its hugely successful Handel series.
- The Consort have set the bar high for this Handel performance with a Gramophone Award in 2007 for ‘Messiah’ and a BBC Radio 3 ‘Building a Library’ First Choice accolade for ‘Acis and Galatea’.
- For Esther, director John Butt has reunited his award-winning team of soloists (Susan Hamilton - Esther; Nicholas Mulroy - Mordecai; Matthew Brook - Haman; Thomas Hobbs - 1st Israelite) plus well-known guest soloists Robin Blaze – Priest, James Gilchrist – Habdonah / Assuerus and Electra Lochhead - Israelite Boy.
- The Consort has established a reputation as the finest contemporary single-part period performance choir.
- In 2011 Gramophone named the Dunedin Consort the 11th Greatest Choir in recognition of its ‘triple focus upon artistic revitalisation of over-familiar great works, meticulous musicological enquiry and the audiophile integrity of Linn Records' production values.’
- The multi-award-winning Dunedin Consort has won praise for the natural style of its soloists (‘an authoritative bass and a superb contralto’ The Guardian) and renown for the virtuosity of its singers.
- Dunedin has performed at music festivals in Scotland, Canada, Italy, Spain, Ireland, Israel and France, and broadcasts frequently on UK radio.
"If there's a state-of-the-art Handel recording, it's this." Philadelphia Inquirer
"...the freshness with which they sing radiates joy throughout the entire score." Classic FM
"The playing under John Butt is admirably crisp, and the singing of the Consort disciplined and clear in enunciation." The Sunday Telegraph
