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 and parts available separately - see item CA.5506100.

Contains part II-III Israel in Egypt is one of the most popular of Handel's oratorios, because of its large number of choruses, and has long enjoyed a firm place in the concert repertoire of many choirs. With its many movements scored for double choir, Israel in Egypt offers a widely-contrasting expressive spectrum, ranging from the expressive lament on the dramatic depictions of the plagues to the festive-triumphant rejoicing of the liberated Israelites. This outstanding work amongst Handel's oratorios is available as a critical edition in the Stuttgart Handel Edition (Urtext). It contains the complete three-part version of the work of 1739. English musicologist Clifford Bartlett, an experienced specialist on the international early music scene, is the editor. Score available separately - see item CA.5505400.

The work was commissioned by the Schwetzingen Mozart Festival at the suggestion of clarinetist Nikolaus Friedrich who wished to enrich the rather meagre repertoire for basset clarinet. This edition contains the part of this instrument, much appreciated by Mozart, arranged for modern B-flat clarinet. As the title suggests, audible tonal and motivic analogies have a formative effect in this cycle, the parts of which the composer regards as five “sound poems, interconnected in some ways,†and which also refers motivically to other works by Höller. At the centre is a slow and expressive movement in the character of a lament, which is linked by the seven-tone motto A-B flat-E flat-C-B-E-D (German: a-b-es-c-h-e-d (= “Abschiedâ€, meaning “farewellâ€)) to the surrounding lively movements, some of which seem deliberately improvisatory. The strings, although accompanying, are hardly less virtuoso than the solo wind instrument, especially in the rapid finale.
