Solomon

Album by George Frideric Handel & Carolyn Sampson & Susan Gritton & Sarah Connolly & Mark Padmore & David Wilson‐Johnson & RIAS Kammerchor & Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin & Daniel Reuss

Solomon is an oratorio by George Frideric Handel, first performed in 1749. Blending Baroque choral writing, solo arias and orchestral sinfonias, it exemplifies Handel's mature dramatic style and his late-career focus on biblical narrative works, with contrasts between grand ceremonial scenes and more intimate pastoral passages.
