Handel, ‘Israel in Egypt’ Oratorio. (Benno Schachtner, David Menahem, Lubna Salame et al. Tolzer Knabenchor and Orchestra l’arte del mondo/ Werner Erhardt. ‘This project is based on ‘Israel in Egypt’, one of the best-known and most popular oratorios by Georg Friedrich Handel, and has been created on the basis of the common history and roots of three religions; Islam, Christianity and Judaism. Musicians from the {Western} European Baroque tradition {Baroque orchestra and choir}, and hence from a Christian background, are joined by musicians from Jewish and Muslim backgrounds. The basic musical form of Handel’s oratorio and its narrative structure remains untouched, for most parts’. Total time: 113′)
