Work: The ways of Zion do mourn, HWV 264

Inspirations for Handel's great work Israel in Egypt followed by a performance of the full work is a great idea, but the main event suffers at the Handel Festival Halle. 

A stunning performance of virtuosic ensemble singing by Collegium Vocale Gent to open the 16th Oslo International Church Music Festival

Is there a better way to spend a Sunday evening than with William Christie conducting “An Evening of Handel” at Carnegie Hall? The Philharmonia Orchestra of Yale and Yale Choral Artists were lucky to perform under his baton, and sounded glorious playing and singing works by il caro Sassone, Mr. Handel.Christie himself earned a degree from the Yale School of Music before emigrating to France.
