La plupart des arias de cette collection font partie du répertoire standard de solistes de renom, et c'est vraiment grâce à eux que les opéras auxquels ils appartiennent sont devenus célèbres. C'est sans doute vrai des airs tels que Lascia ch'io pianga, Ombra mai fu et Caro Mio Ben. Dans Coro Mio Ben, Gwyn Arch a créé de nouveaux arrangements d'oeuvres et ces plus de Haendel, Mozart, Verdi et d'autres compositeurs, et donc ouvert ce genre musical à un public entièrement nouveau. Les accompagnements de piano sont largement tournée vers les originaux. Comprend 2 CD avec 18 enregistrements complets chorales et 10 pistes d'accompagnement de piano. / Choeur Mixte (SATB)

Belshazzar , with its detailed stage instructions and many short forms such as accompagnato recitatives and ariosi, is the most dramatic of George Frideric Handel's oratorios. It is de facto a sacred opera, but because of the ban on biblical plots on the stage in England at that time, it had to be composed in the form of an oratorio, i. e. for non-staged performance. For this work Handel chose one of the most enthralling subjects in world and religious history: the fall of Babylon and the liberation of the Jewish people. The new Carus Urtext edition brings together all three performable versions of the work: the one from the first performance of 1745, as well as the reworkings of 1751 and 1758. For the first time, this edition consistently follows Handel's conductor's score, which provides clarity about the numbers which Handel actually performed. Additionally, the edition includes the aria Lament not thus which was cut before the first performance. Thus all the choruses and arias composed by Handel for Belshazzar are available together, including the late arias Wise men and Fain would I know which are hardly known.* First Urtext edition* For the first time all three performable versions of the work in one edition* Based throughout on Handel's conductor's score * Includes the aria Lament not thus which was cut before the first performance. Score available separately - see item CA.5506100.

First critical edition. The oratorio Judas Maccabaeus is one of George Frideric Handel's most popular choral works. It was performed over fifty times during the composer's lifetime and was one of his first works to be performed in Germany (1772). The frequent performances given by Handel himself resulted in a particularly large number of reworkings, reflecting local conditions. This new edition therefore offers the work in two performable versions: firstly, the version of the first performance in 1747, and the one from the last oratorio season during Handel's lifetime (1758/59). This makes available all the choruses and arias which Handel ever wrote for Judas Maccabaeus. Reflecting the latest Handel research, the edition is based for the first time throughout on Handel's conductor's score, thereby eradicating not only long-perpetuated mistakes, but also providing clarity about which pieces were actually performed by Handel. By contrast with the Chrysander edition obligatory until now, the aria Father of heav'n which introduces Part III is included here in its original, longer version. Score available separately - see item CA.5506300.
