Description
George Frideric Handel: A Life of Musical Genius In 1712, a young German composer arrived in London to serve as musician to King George II. This marked the beginning of a remarkable four-decade period during which Handel would compose some of the most iconic music in history. From his early days as a largely self-taught composer to his later success as a master of opera and oratorio, Jane Glover draws on her deep understanding of music and musicianship to tell Handel's story. This is a tale of music-making, musicianship, and the social context of 18th-century London, alongside some of the most remarkable music ever written. Handel's legacy continues to be celebrated and performed around the world, three hundred years after its creation.
