Voces Suaves at the RheinVokal Festival
Giacomo Carissimi's sacred music drama Jephte recorded at the spectacular church of St Severus, Boppard in Germany.
Giacomo Carissimi pioneered the genre of sacred music drama that became known as 'oratorio'. Jephte is his best-known work, based on the story in the Old Testament Book of Judges. Interestingly, Carissimi remains faithful to the story as told whereas Handel a century later provides a happy ending. The world-renowned Renaissance vocal group Voces Suaves, trained and formed at the Schola Cantorum in Basel, performs this masterpiece of 17th-century music recorded during the 2019 RheinVokal Festival at the spectacular church of St Severus, Boppard in Germany, which lies in the Rhine Gorge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. To open the concert, a harpsichord miniature by Carissimi's contemporary Luigi Rossi, performed by J枚rg-Andreas B枚tticher.
