Description

George Frederic Handel was one of the leading composers of the baroque, especially known for his Italian operas.  When he presented his dramatic oratorio Israel in Egypt in 1739 it flopped.  It has since returned to favour, and this recording by Apollo’s Fire shows why this turnaround has happened.  Put simply, the music is stunning.
