Joshua is one of four so-called 'victory' oratorios Handel composed in the late 1740s, which commemorate the defeat of the 1745-46 Jacobite Rebellion. It takes as it's subject matter the biblical story of Joshua, who roused his people to a sequence of divinely aided victories. The oratorio remained a favorite with English and continental audiences until well after Handel's death. This recording, taken from live performances, features a superb cast of soloists supported by the Festspiel Orchester Göttingen, conducted from the harpsichord by Laurence Cummings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Accent Records","offers":[{"title":"New \/ CD \/ Joshua Accent Records","offer_id":47236775608628,"sku":"ACR26403.2","price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0790\/7436\/1652\/files\/2851753.jpg?v=1770480177","url":"https:\/\/www.fye.com\/products\/handel-laurence-cummings-joshua_aec-acr26403-2","provider":"FYE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
