Sunday 17 November 2019, 3:00 PM Handel Israel in Egypt |
|
Handel: Israel in Egypt Brisbane Chorale, Canticum Chamber Choir Camerata Conducted by Graham Abbott Brisbane City Hall In 1738 London, Handel was becoming known for his new English-language oratorios - and what an enduring legacy he left us. The grand tales from the bible perfectly suited his operatic background and skills of dramatic musical depictions. There are few more dramatic biblical stories than that of the desperate plight of the Israelites in Egypt and their ultimate deliverance, and Handel's brilliance gives it mighty voice. |
