George Frideric Handel
(1685-1759)

Israel in Egypt, Oratorio

 

 

The genius of Handel lies also in his marvellous sense of adaptation. Whereas many predicted the end of his fame, Handel transcends his art in the Oratorio. Israel in Egypt, created on April 4th, 1739, knew a timid reception, in spite of the richness of the choirs which gave a powerful expressiveness to this work.
