Prom 23 - 1.08.17: Handel - Israel in Egypt

[bluestateprommer]

A welcome appearance of my favourite Handel oratorio. I'm surprised it isn't more popular, having a strong storyline!

A very strong performance indeed, with all involved on cracking from. BTW, for EA, Zoë Brookshaw took over for Anna Devin. Great start to the week for early music fans c/o The Proms, after the Monteverdi yesterday.

Back in April when they ran the first FLAC 'Taster'.

Only heard the first part. So need to hear 2 and 3. But sounded very good to me.

Available for the moment by jumping through a few easily negotiated hoops at http://www.bbc.co.uk/taster/projects/proms-binaural . Several other fairly recent Proms there too, all sans verbal presentation.

Interesting to compare and contrast with the iPlayer HD Sound option encoded at the same 320kbps rate.
