Jephtha

Album by George Frideric Handel & Anthony Rolfe Johnson & Margaret Marshall & Alfreda Hodgson & Paul Esswood & Emma Kirkby & Sir Neville Marriner

Jephtha is an oratorio by George Frideric Handel, first performed in 1752. It is a late-Baroque sacred vocal work combining choral writing, solo arias and recitatives with orchestral accompaniment, and it represents one of Handel's final oratorios, reflecting his mature approach to dramatic sacred narrative.
