This man has to be the most consistent artist in pop/rock history.  For me, every album is a winner, for a bit over three decades now!

 

 

S.F. Day from 1993 is amazing!

Can't say I like his music but this is one helluva video:

Finally managed to get a new and sealed copy of this!  Domingo's is one of the very few male voices I love.  Bliss!

Qobuz has it at 24/44.1, although I gather it was also released as an SACD, so may be available as DSD too.

I have not seen it available as a DSD download (although I have ripped the SACD).  It is certainly one of the better modern performances.

On the whole, I think I prefer the version headlined by Kathleen Battle, but Rosemary Joshua sings the role quite winningly, and the recording overall is wonderful.  I'm happy that I now have two beautiful versions of this gorgeous "secular oratorio" by the incomparable Handel.
