Saul

Harry Christophers and The Sixteen are revered for their performances and recordings of Handel s great oratorios, and they add to their
stunning collection with this new recording of Saul. In his Biblical oratorio, Handel wrote an epic work of great drama and thrilling
musical inventiveness. He gifted his solo singer s roles with vivid characterization and in Christopher Purves as Saul we have a baritone
whose talent for dramatic realization is matched by superb musical craftsmanship. Sarah Connolly, who sings the role
of David, has become one of the most sought-after Handel interpreters.
