Handel: Jephtha

Renowned for their Handel interpretations, Harry Christophers and his award-winning ensemble, The Sixteen, add to their glittering catalogue of Handel discs with this new recording of Jephtha. The last oratorio that he wrote, Jephtha is also often seen as his most profound; the portrayal of Jephtha's suffering is particularly noteworthy for its astonishing sincerity. The Sixteen are joined by a stellar case of soloists including James Gilchrist, Susan Bickley, Sophie Bevan, Robin Blaze and Matthew Brook.
