Samson (COR16008)
“Powerful choral singing from The Sixteen and alert playing by the period-instrument band make this the most pleasurable Samson yet recorded.” - Sunday Times
Israel in Egypt (COR16011)
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.

An astonishing disc of Handel Arias sung by one of opera’s rising stars, Sarah Connolly.
Alexander’s Feast (COR16028)
“A remarkable recording is welcomed to the catalogue.” - Repertoire, France
Delirio Amoroso (Ann Murray) (COR16030)
“…a dazzling revelation of melodic freshness and inventive touch...Ann Murray sings superlatively.” - BBC Music Magazine
Fedel e Costante (Elin Manahan Thomas) (COR16045)
"Her voice is hauntingly attractive, with an endearing simplicity” - BBC Music Magazine
Coronation Anthems (COR16066)
“This disc ranks as The Sixteen’s most exciting achievement in its impressive Handel discography” - Gramophone
