The great baroque composer George Frideric Handel's final masterpiece! Recorded live in September 2022 by multi- GRAMMY®-award winning engineer Christopher Willis, conducted by Dame Jane Glover, and performed by Chicago based Music of the Baroque- Chorus and Orchestra. The first American commercial recording of "Jephtha"- Handel's most sublime, emotionally intense work - an absolutely gorgeous baroque masterpiece. Now in it's fifth decade, Music of the Baroque is one of the leading professional ensembles in America devoted to 17th and 18th -century works. The Chicago Sun-Times writes, "Lyric Opera of Chicago and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra may be the big guys on the local classical music scene, but in terms of sheer quality of performance... Music of the Baroque inhabits the same stratosphere."
