What a huge privilege and pleasure to listen to this work performed to such a high standard by all concerned! One revels in the mastery and beauty conjured up by each soloist; the tightknit choir; the playful and energetic orchestra; the lyrical but precise conductor. One also marvels at the ingenuity of Handel and Newburgh Hamilton in so skillfully adapting Milton's Samson Agonistes, so that one is continuously agonising over where lies good and evil in this depiction.

Amazing performance. I would love to see this performed live one day. I wonder if the audience knows how privileged they are.

What is the trumpeter doing on let the bright seraphim?
