Arrival of the Queen of Sheba - Solomon
The English Concert Perform the Arrival of the Queen of Sheba from Handel's majestic oratorio Solomon.

BBC Proms: Solomon Händel

A musician as monarch: what could be more perfect?

Handel’s Solomon (1749) is a celebration of a nation (and a genius) at the height of its confidence, and with its libretto by Moses Mendes, this lavish oratorio is the gloriously tuneful product of a diverse and fast-changing society.

Iestyn Davies – arguably Britain’s finest living counter-tenor – lavishes all his eloquence and dramatic power on the title-role, as the period instruments of The English Concert, and the BBC Singers under their Chief Conductor Sofi Jeannin, bring Handel’s vision to majestic life.
