Clayton’s tenor has been getting steadily stronger and more muscular over the past few years, and there’s more evidence of that here. The declamatory recitatives (‘Let but that spirit’) and arias (‘Hark how the hounds and horn’, ‘Call forth thy pow’rs’) ring bright and burnished, thrillingly dramatised.
While Ian Bostridge and Mark Padmore have recorded sophisticated Handel recital discs in recent years, there’s a guileless beauty of tone in Clayton’s Handel that is more reminiscent of John Mark Ainsley’s early recordings. ... He is a stylish but not slavish Handelian, and there is too much juice in the voice for him to be characterised as a ‘typical English tenor’ - a description that in any case is overdue an overhaul.
