Popis
Although Israel in Egypt was premiered in three parts on April 4, 1739, Handel probably initially composed this oratorio without a complete text. Hervé Niquet has chosen to record the version in two parts that Berlioz and the entire 19th century regarded as definitive, namely the Exodus and the Song of Moses. This recording, made shortly after the Covid pandemic, also shows the joy of the singers and instrumentalists of Le Concert Spirituel to make music together again: Hervé Niquet says the final chorus is "a unison cry of happiness" and sees an "almost palpable drama in these works": The two choirs face each other on either side of the orchestra and react to each other in fierce retaliatory blows and monumental unisons. Their interweaving in diabolical movements is like a theatrical staging before our eyes".
