A radiant and thrilling work by Handel—not to be missed in this important year marking the 250th anniversary of his passing—Sinfonia presents the timeless Old Testament Passover story in song! Sit mesmerized as Sinfonia brings to life the Exodus story of slavery and suffering, the rise of Moses, the plagues of blood, fire and hailstones, locusts, darkness, and the death of the firstborn. Experience Moses' triumph in leading the Israelites out of Egypt. And all of that in one oratorio!Moses' Song in the second half reflects on the jubilant and glorious achievements of Exodus, with some of the most brilliant choral-orchestral anthems ever composed by the greatest master of the form.
