Very well worth obtaining. For one thing it offers better value than its rivals on other labels, which contain just Job, sometimes eked out with plainsong or readings from the Hebrew text, the latter, on a deleted Supraphon recording, not much use if, like me, you got no further than the opening chapters of Teach Yourself Biblical Hebrew.

Job consists of a series of powerful commentaries on parts of the biblical story—eight sections in all—and it receives a powerful performance, very well recorded … Hyperion’s less-than-best is better than some labels’ best offerings.
