Joseph and his Brethren, the latest in The King's Consort's mammoth series of recordings of the grand oratorios of Handel, tells the story of Joseph, sold into slavery by his perfidious brothers, winning acceptance at the court of Pharaoh in Egypt by his interpretation of the dreams foretelling seven years of plenty, and seven of famine. His brothers come from drought-ridden Israel to beg for food, and are eventually reunited with Joseph.

The work is characteristically full of melodic invention and drama, culminating in the scene between Joseph and his youngest and innocent brother Benjamin (here sung by the stunning treble Connor Burrowes) in which Joseph is emotionally overcome and admits his true identity. No wonder the work was so warmly received at its first performance.



'I have no reservations about encouraging anyone interested in Handel to buy this set and to acquaint themselves with the many delights of this grossly neglected work' (Gramophone)

'A must for all dedicated Handelians' (Classic CD)

'Mi recomendación más absoluta … Tres horas de deleite musical que no se debe perder' (CD Compact, Spain)

'This is as fine a case as one could imagine being made for the work' (American Record Guide)

'Robert King and Hyperion can be more than satisfied with another fine addition to their steadily-increasing Handel discography' (Organists' Review)

'No lover of Handel should be without this wonderful work, now at last done justice on CD' (Hi-Fi News)

'With first-rate casts and careful attention to Handel's original texts, King has blown the dust off some magnificent music' (BBC Record Review)
