Samson (Act 2, With plaintive notes and am'rous moan)

Available for over a year

An aria of sensuous sweetness and bewitching grace, this is sung to Samson by Delilah, whose appearance changes the music from sombre tones to brighter colours. Samson, however, is unmoved, due to her betrayal when she cut his hair and robbed him of his supernatural powers. Composer: George Frideric Handel Performer: Malin Christensson (Soprano) Performer: Simon Lepper (Piano) Recording date: 29 June 2011 Date of broadcast: 14 July 2011
