This is a great example of the "old school" of English oratorio performance. Actually, it's not that "old" because although it uses modern instruments, Raymond Leppard is as fully informed about Baroque performance practice as any period instrument guy. Beyond that, he has a stunning line-up of soloists, lead by Dame Janet Baker, who sing their roles with appropriately operatic fervor.

Dunedin Consort continues to apply its pioneering approach to recordings by releasing two alternative performing versions of one of Handel’s greatest dramatic works, Samson. This is the Full Chorus Version.
This version employs an authentic Handelian chorus, comprising both boy trebles from the Tiffin Boys' Choir and solo sopranos – a sonority largely unheard in the modern age.

Riverside’s long-awaited 2023 release ID.Entity kicks off Riverside's third decade in a remarkable way. Produced by Mariusz Duda, the album extends and expands Riverside’s characteristic sound with a dynamic and revamped approach to the band’s classic formula.
What comes across on ID.Entity is the sheer quality of the musicianship, with every player at the top of his game. Anyone wondering whether Riverside could still cut it without Piotr Grudzinski can be assured they still have the chops they’ve always had, they’re still atmospheric progmeisters and their music still has its discernible edge.
