@alinecedrac I sang this with Apollo's Fire in Cleveland a few years ago. I agree--- this piece needs to go FAST--- and we did it at an even quicker gallop than this. What an amazing finale.
-
Awesome. The tenor "Evangelist" is splendid, and the soprano is absolutely glorious -- like a silver trumpet! Add to that a wonderful choir, and you get Handel at his best. :)
-
@TheMaliPerica The Lord is Love. So there's no replacing there. And I agree with EmilyGreene -- if you want secular music, why listen to Handel?

Very well sung!
Sock it to 'em, Handel!

@TheMaliPerica If you want secular music, you can look elsewhere.
-
@TheMaliPerica Why replace the Lord? I love how this honors the Lord. :)
-
Of course, one of the the great choral finales
Very well done
I wish the tenor's English pronunciation were more fastidious when Amer. singers sing in German etc. they are often criticized I think when foreign singers sing in English we should demand the same idiomatic quality
But still very fine -I wonder if the whole performance is available some where?
-
Replace Lord with Love and you get nice secular music :)

I have 3 versions of the oratorio, but this finale may be better than any of them! thanks carosaxone.
This is really the best version of Israel in Egypt I've ever heard,
I like it, so full of triumph. Other versions instead are so...mmm...slow! Thank you for posting it! it's simply wonderful, also because you caused me to know this composition!

Isreal In Egypt has to be the greatest gift of Handel to the chorus! All is wonderful - especially the rather avant garde double chorus throughout most of the work, lovely. Thanks for posting
