Die Israeliten in der Wüste, Oratorio

Gudrun Sidonie Otto, Nele Gramß, Hermann Oswald,
Michael Schopper,
Salzburger Hofmusik, Wolfgang Brunner

CPE Bach’s Die Israeliten in der Wüste is an oratorio based on the pain and suffering of the Israelites in the desert. He wrote the piece with the intention that it should be performed not only on a solemn occasion, but at any time inside or outside the Church. His style of writing is clearly influenced by the oratorios written by George Frideric Handel, particularly the Messiah and his affinity for the Old Testament.
