The perpetual fame of the Messiah seems to have overshadowed many of the other great oratorios that Handel left behind. Many concert venues insist of performing this trusty warhorse year in year out, much to the tragic neglect of Solomon, Israel in Egypt and countless others. So I thought a thread would be in order to rectify this deficiency...
Feel free to discuss the relative merits of Handel's other oratorios, recommend recordings, and post clips/highlights.
I will also add a poll where you can vote for your favourites. (Messiah is of course disqualified). Vote for 2 or 3 if you like.
