Nowhere else except in Dixit Dominus (1707), the tour deforce of his youthful stay in Italy, did Handel make such sustained demands of his choral singers, stretching to the limit their range of dramatic expression, stamina and sheer virtuosity.

Handel composed Israel in Egypt soon after finishing "Saul" (1738), which is considered by many musicologists as the main Handel Oratorio in all of them, the more complex, the number one. Even is not the first in importance ( there is a subjectivity in this kind of question) Saul certanly is among the 4 or 5 his master Oratorios, - well, I think Handel probably had to work on it more than the usual and there was the problem that he was changing from italian Operas to English Oratorios. The british people was not liking very much anymore that kind of opera Handel composed and was not going to the Theater to wacth anymore. Handel was "in transition" in between 2 genres in the time of Saul and I. in Egypt (it s impossible to explain this issue Operas x Oratorios in Handel compostion context very well here, the subject was bit complex and I would needed about 20 lines to that). Anyway, Handel needed 2 large scale work for the 1739 season, so after had composed and ended Saul, he started to compose Israel in Egypt. He finished the last one in 30 days. This is was not some different for him, usually he composed 2 long and complex compositions in a row for the season of the next year, - for a 2 hours and 45 minutes Oratorio ou a 3 hours Italian Opera, 30 days was the average time he needed. Israel in Egypt in fact was even shorter (2 hours long). The point is Israel in Egypt was the Handel composition which he took more musical material from ancient himself compositions and from composition by other composers, mainly today unknown italian composers. This was not big deal, even Bach borrow material from other composers, (and I am not talking about the arrangments he made of Vivaldi concertos and other italian (mainly) composers) - that pratice was commom in that time. But Handel sometimes excedeed himself in this practice :) I think that all these problems made Handel borrow more musical ideas from other composer than the usual for Israel in Egypt. Anyway, he knew sewing up very well what he borrowed, the Oratorio was not a patchwork, - it is one of my favorite Handel´s Oratorios. Israel in Egypt had a lot of modifications after that 1739 concertos, ( in fact, the public didn´t like it, and Israel in Egypt was played just 2 times. Handel changed, so, a lot of things on it. Because that, the Oratorio got without an Overture, the maestros or choose a Handel composition as Overture or it started with a recitativo, something which doens´t happen in any other Handel Oratorio or Opera, as I know.

Air (soprano) Thou didst blow with the wind, the sea covered them; they sank as lead in the mighty waters. (Exodus xv: 10) 23. Chorus Who is like unto Thee, O Lord, among the gods.

This version is very good, but you should know some day the Simon Preston recording of Israel in Egypt (with Ian Patridge, James Bowman, Tom McDonnell, Alan Watt, with the Choir of Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford - the recording is a bit ancient, it´s from 1976, (well, Gardiner recording is from 1978, so...) but the entire work was remasterized, so there is no problem in the quality of the sound. We find this complete version in KZbin in kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZusp3ibqr54i80 and in the Spotify. In Apple Music, here music.apple.com/nz/album/handel-israel-in-egypt/1452615053 The 2 first arias of Preston recording, part II, is a bit operatic for an Oratorio in my opinion, this is the unique problem of this S Preston work , in Oratorio about 80% chorus, 20% arias and duos (some of them start as aria and finish as chorus, as we can hear a lot of times in Messiah, so this 2 arias are not problem. The choral parts in Preston recording had an impressive power and unity, and was recorded.

This oratorio is probably the best one in Haendel's global throughput. Messiah is more uniform.

Ein wenig zu langsam für mich aber sehr gut interpretiert. Was meint ihr?
