Paperback. A larger-than-life figure in his time, Handel's reputation has been less than steady since his death in 1759. Was he (in the words of Berlioz) just 'a barrel of pork and beer', or (as Handel himself claimed) truly 'the master of us all'? Now, in this 250th anniversary year, there is more interest in Handel than ever before, with his operas experiencing fantastic renewed popularity. This lively new Pocket Guide goes in search of the composer who wrote Messiah, The Water Music - and much more.Edward Blakeman assesses how Handel's works have stood the test of time and why they can still speak thrillingly to us today. With recommendations throughout for listening, further reading, and web surfing, this is the ideal guide for music lovers who want to discover the great composer for themselves. An engaging and easy-to-use pocket guide. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
