About

A comprehensive programme of arias from such famous English oratorios as Esther, Saul, Belshazzar, Theodora, Judas Maccabaeus and Solomon. These oratorios contain a wealth of arias, duets and splendid overtures, of which one overture, eleven arias and two beautiful duets are included here.

The world-famous countertenor James Bowman is joined by The King’s Consort and the renowned soprano Susan Gritton.

This beautiful collection of songs and duets from Handel oratorios finds the 52-year-old English countertenor in quite amazing form … his voice remains phenomenally agile. Unmissable’ - The Sunday Times
