אסתר ; או ,הישועה של ישראל על ידי אסתר <Hebrew> / Esther; or, The Salvation of Israel by Esther (1774) is an oratorio by Cristiano Giuseppe Lidarti (mus.) and Jacob Raphael Saraval (libr.). Based on Esther (1732 Haendel), oratorio.
Abstract
The work was completed in 1774 by Italian-Austrian composer Cristiano Giuseppe Lidarti as a commission for the Jewish community in Amsterdam. The text was prepared by a Lidarti-contemporary rabbi, Venetian-born Jacob Raphael ben Simhah Judah Saraval, who took the English libretto for Esther (1732 Haendel), oratorio, and translated it into Hebrew.
The oratorio was rediscovered in 1999 and recorded by Friedemann Layer and Orchestre National de Montpellier.
