Beautiful Music NOW - Israel in Egypt

Today's Beautiful Music is a complete performance of George Frideric Handel's 1739 biblical oratorio ISRAEL IN EGYPT by Croatian Baroque Ensemble. The large three-part composition received a lukewarm reception when Handel premiered it, but it has evolved to be considered as one of the composer's finest works.

Suzanne Bona is the host and executive producer of Sunday Baroque, a nationally syndicated weekly radio show of Baroque and early music which she originated on WSHU in 1987.
