Synopsis

Amazon.com essential recording

Because Handel's Israel in Egypt was so short, he prefaced it in later performances with an arrangement of The Ways of Zion Do Mourn, also known as the Funeral Anthem for Queen Caroline. Putting a half-hour of gloom and misery at the start really didn't help matters much, so here John Eliot Gardiner gives you the original funeral anthem, and if you want to hear it first, you can. Otherwise, you get a vigorous and exciting performance of Israel in Egypt, better in fact than his Philips rerecording. --David Hurwitz

A Handelian Delight

06/27/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"It truly is unfortunate that the premier performance of this work is no longer available, or so it appears. Musical Heritage Society may still have it in its catalog, and if so, then it'd be worth picking up. If not, then one can only hope that it eventually gets rereleased on a budget label or appears used on Ebay, as it easily surpasses anything else out there, including Gardiner's later version with the English Baroque Soloists on Philips. I have two copies of the LP version, and they are both beginning to wear thin from repeated playing. A Handelian delight."
