Eines der beliebtesten Oratorien Händels zu seinen Lebzeiten, komponiert innerhalb weniger Wochen nach Messiah.
»Samson« erwies sich zu Händels Lebzeiten als eines der beliebtesten Oratorien, das er nur wenige Wochen nach »Messiah« komponierte. Thomas Randle singt eine souveräne Titelrolle (»Samson with Attitude«: The Independent) mit Lynda Russells stimmlich verführerischer Dalila und Catherine Wyn-Rogers' reichem und ausdrucksstarkem Micah. Simson beginnt mit einem heidnischen Fest und endet mit einer Elegie. Ihr Finale gilt zu Recht als eine der berühmtesten Arien aller Zeiten: »Lasst die strahlenden Seraphim in brennender Reihe/ Ihre lauten, erhobenen Engelstrompeten blasen.«

Rezensionen
M. Hengelbrock in FonoForum 9/97: »Christophers läßt es mehr unter der Oberfläche brodeln, was gerade dadurch spannend wird, daß die perfekte Klangkultur von Solisten, Chor und Orchester - welches hier übrigens in alter Besetzung, aber unter neuem Namen spielt - nur das ebenso vielseitige wie zuverlässige Medium bildet, den Ausdruck auf den Punkt zu bringen und mit kleinen Nuancen Großes zu erreichen.«»Der kraftvolle Chorgesang von The Sixteen und das aufmerksame Spiel der Band mit historischen Instrumenten machen dies zum angenehmsten Samson, das je aufgenommen wurde.« – Sunday Times
