Michael Oliver presents the fourth of nine programmes featuring recorded performances by the great tenor.

Saint-Saens Samson et Dalila
The Old Testament story offers a superb role for a heroic tenor. Shorn of his hair, and so of his strength, the mighty hero of Israel manages with one last effort to bring the roof crashing down on the Philistines - and on himself. Libretto by Ferdinand Lemaire. Sung in French.
Chorus and Orchestra of the Opera-Bastille, Paris, conductor Myung-Whun Chung
