Carissimi: Historia di Jephte

Voces Suaves and Michele Vannelli approach Carissimi’s “Historia di Jephte” with attentive care and a palpable sense of engagement: nothing is overstated, the unfolding of the narrative speaks for itself, and it is from this precision that the emotion arises. Composed in the 1640s, the work has never left the repertoire, admired up to Handel, who reworked its final chorus in his “Samson”.
