Oratorio in three acts. Par HAENDEL GEORG FRIEDRICH. Handel composed Samson directly after completing the 'Messiah'. After its premiere in 1743 in the Covent Garden Theatre in London, the work rapidly became one of the composer's most successful oratorios alongside 'Esther' and 'Judas Maccabaeus'.

Arrangeur: Andrea Campora. Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. Beethoven’s sacred works include two settings of the Mass. The “Mass in C major”, completed and premiered in 1807, has been unjustly described as a preliminary step towards the great “Missa solemnis”. Yet it is a self-contained and, for its time, decidedly modern piece of church music. Drawing on the rich body of sources, Beethoven specialist Ba…

Par MARTIN FRANK. This edition of Frank Martin’s mass is a scholarly-critical as well as a performing edition that takes all sources into account.
