Israel in Egypt
The BBC Singers are joined by Hungarian conductor Gergely Madaras and the Academy of Ancient Music in a performance of Handel’s epic oratorio, Israel in Egypt.
In a change to the advertised concert, another chance to hear the BBC Singers perform Handel's dramatic oratorio Israel in Egypt. Gergely Madaras makes a welcome return with the BBC Singers, who join forces with the Academy of Ancient Music for a thrilling evening of Old Testament retribution and triumph, with soloists from the BBC Singers.
Recorded in May 2019 at Milton Court, Barbican, and introduced by Martin Handley.
