Unmittelbar nach Saul entstanden, ist Israel in Egypt als prächtiges Chororatorium eines der herausragenden Werke des Komponisten. Großangelegte Chor-Tableaus spannen einen kontrastreichen Bogen von expressiver Klage bis zu festlich-triumphierendem Jubel nach dem Durchzug durch das Rote Meer. Mit dem Rastatter Vokalensemble unter Holger Speck hat sich eines der profiliertesten jungen Vokalensembles dieses eindrucksvollen Werkes angenommen.
