To legendarne nagranie dostępne jest w sprzedaży po raz pierwszy od wielu lat. Uważane jest za jedno z najlepszych, a nawet za wzorcowe wykonanie oratorium Haendla.

W rolach głównych słyszymy: Sophie Daneman (Theodora), Daniel Taylor (Didymus), Richard Croft (Septimius), Nathan Berg (Valens), Juliette Galstian (Irene) oraz Laurent Slaars (Messenger).Tracklista:CD 31.
