Further information

"Jephte" takes its listeners to baroque Rome, where Giacomo Carissimi for many years demonstrated his innovative form of the then still very young genre "Oratorium" in church contexts. The Roman composer himself called these works "historie".
The Swiss ensemble Voces Suaves with their expressive and clear voices tell the story of Carissimi's heartbreaking "Historia di Jephte" in the Jesuit Church. This is the Old Testament story of the Israeli army commander who must sacrifice his daughter to God for his victory against the Ammonites. She accepts her role as a victim and bids farewell with a great lament. A funeral choir concludes Carissimi's oratorio, which is supplemented by Voces Suaves with hymns of praise and lamentations from the Holy City and the time of Carissimi.
