Handel's oratorio Samson was very well received at its first performance in 1743 and has remained one of his most popular oratorios.
Newburgh Hamilton's adaptation of John Milton concentrates on the final events of Samson's life and his journey to fulfilment as an instrument of divine will.
The Sixteen,
Symphony of Harmony and Invention, conductor Harry Christophers
