24 FLAC Discount The passage of time has perhaps been unkind to the English composer Maurice Greene.

By 1730 he was one of the most senior musicians in England: Organist at St Paul’s Cathedral, Organist and Composer to the Chapel Royal, and Professor of Music at the University of Cambridge.

When he was appointed Master of the King’s Music, in 1735, he held every significant appointment in the Kingdom.

Of course, the overwhelming presence of Handel in London at the time most certainly played a significant part in Greene’s relative obscurity.

His second attempt at oratorio, Jephtha, in 1737, marks the first successful foray by an Englishman in this genre.

Brimming with attractively varied airs and choruses, powerfully emotive accompanied recitatives, and spirited orchestral movements, it is an engaging work.

Taken from the Book of Judges, chapter 11, the account of Jephtha tells the story of a fearless Israelite warrior recalled from exile to fight for his people, a man not only of great valour but, as it transpires – thanks to an impulsive and fateful pledge – of profound honour, too, destined to assume his place as their worthy ruler.

Christian Curnyn directs his Early Opera Company forces with a dazzling cast of soloists: Andrew Staples takes the part of Jephtha, joined by Mary Bevan, Michael Mofidian, and Jeremy Budd.
