Rene Jacobs

Background: René Jacobs returns to the oratorio genre at the head of a phenomenal cast. The oratorio Saul was composed in the summer of 1738 and was regularly revived during Handel's lifetime. In choosing to build their work around this biblical character Handel and his librettist ensured its perennial success.

The celebrated Dead March, probably ensured that it was one of the few Handel oratorios to escape the oblivion that largely overtook his large-scale choral compositions, with the exception of Messiah.
