Fiona Talkington introduces this rare performance C.P.E. Bach's oratorio which traces in extended arias, recitatives and short choruses the Old Testament story of the pain and suffering of the Israelites in the desert. Written for the consecration of Hamburg's Lazarettkirche in 1769, Bach wrote the piece with the intention that it be performed "not only on a solemn occasion, but at any time, inside or outside the Church." The work went on to achieve popularity in concert halls across Europe.
