Biography

Editorial Reviews

Dawson seems to me a total and absolute success, indeed the star of the show -- and perhaps the leading Handel opera soprano today... Listening to this set, I initially felt that it was the finest Ariodante I had ever heard; but as time went on I came to find the driven quality of Minkowski's performance, especially in the high dramatic music of the latter part of the opera, increasingly disconcerting. But its sheer passion does, I think, give it claims to be considered first choice. Gramophone
