Handel’s Samson with Thomas Cooley in the title role!
“Thomas Cooley realized the part of Samson most impressively. With great depth of emotion, he illustrated the dark, painful images, imbued harmonic details with expression, created tension in passages of complete quiet and entered into an organic music-making with the orchestra.”
