Esther is Handel’s first oratorio and the first oratorio written in England (1718–1720). The work is based on Jean Racine’s play Esther, itself a free adaptation of the biblical Book of Esther. Through Handel’s distinctive musical language, weaving together dramatic arias and rich, varied choral movements, unfolds the dramatic story of Esther, Mordecai, Haman, and Ahasuerus. Performed with the Jerusalem Baroque Orchestra and guest soloists.
