Handel Samson

in
$34.82
3 CD set

Samson proved to be one of Handel's most popular oratorios during his lifetime, composed within weeks of Messiah. Thomas Randle sings a commanding title role ("Samson with attitude..." The Independent), with Lynda Russell's vocally seductive Dalila, and Catherine Wyn-Rogers' rich and expressive Micah. Samson opens with a pagan festival and closes with an elegy. Its finale is rightly established as one of the most famous arias of all time. "Let the bright Seraphim in burning row/ Their loud, uplifted angel-trumpets blow."

The Sixteen: Ceremony and Devotion

in
$19.76

Sixteenth-century England was a place of much religious change. It was a dangerous and confusing time as Henry VIII, who had split with Rome, was succeeded by his young son Edward VI, then by the ardent Catholic, Mary Tudor, and finally by the Protestant, Elizabeth I. Composers of the day, such as William Byrd, John Sheppard and Thomas Tallis, were required to adapt to rapidly changing musical requirements and it is testament to their incredible skill and musical mastery that they produced such magnificent works in such troubled times.

The Sixteen: Handel Israel in Egypt

in
$19.76

Of all Handel's great oratorios, Israel in Egypt is second only to messiah in drama. It is dominated by massive virtuosic choruses, making it the perfect piece for The Sixteen, acknowledged by audiences and critics alike.

The Sixteen: Dixit Dominus

in
$19.76

The Sixteen adds to its stunning Handel collection with a brand new recording of Dixit Dominus set alongside a little known treasure—Agostino Steffani’s Stabat Mater. Full of virtuosity, vibrant color, and dynamic energy, Handel’s Dixit Dominus is one of his earliest autographed works and captures the Italian style of the period. By comparison, Steffani’s Stabat Mater was one of his last compositions. This work is the most powerful expression of Steffani’s religious fervor and—outside opera—is his largest, most varied, and most heartfelt composition.
