Handel

Israel In Egypt, Parts II and III

listen to a sample

• Music of the Baroque Chorus and Orchestra
• Jane Glover, conductor
• Sarah Gartshore, Kimberly McCord, and Amy Conn, sopranos
• Joseph Schlesinger, alto
• Daniel Shirley and Klaus Georg, tenors
• Keven Keys and Todd von Felker, basses

Water turns to blood, flies buzz, and hailstones rain down as Handel leads us through the ten plagues, the crossing of the Red Sea, and the drowning of Pharaoh’s armies. The great biblical drama of liberation comes alive, as Jane Glover conducts a choral tour de force by one of music history’s most imaginative storytellers.
