Handel’s Jephtha a Modern Triumph
Dame Jane Glover conducts from the harpsichord, as Handel would have. Under her direction, we get a performance that's both authentic and engaging. The choruses are clean and precise, letting us marvel at Handel's counterpoint. The soloists are first-rate.
Evgeni Koroliov’s Insightful Handel
Authentic? No. But musical? Yes. Koroliov gives us engaging, thoughtful performances of this material. And isn't that what we're listening for?
We are grateful for the generosity of the Joseph and Robert Cornell Memorial Foundation and UVA Arts Council, supporting WTJU and CharlottesvilleClassical.org.
