Hermann MaxAbout
During his career as a conductor, Felix Mendelssohn conducted Handel’s oratorio Israel in Egypt more than any other work. While in London, Mendelssohn discovered the original score to the work, and consequently produced a new critical edition in line with this newly-discovered, much longer manuscript source.
Mendelssohn performed his new arrangement of Israel in Egypt at the Lower Rhine Musical Festival in Düsseldorf on 26 May 1833 and in doing so successfully returned the work to the concert stage.
