Listening to Handel
An Owner's Manual
Amadeus Press (New York, NY, 2019)
Of all the biggest-name composers, Handel probably wrote
the most truly great music that no one knows about. This
book takes the curious listener through his entire output,
from his earliest works in Italy, through his more than
40 operas, and including the famous English oratorios
on which his reputation largely rests. Along the way it
examines his orchestral music, the pieces he wrote for
England's lavish royal ceremonies, and his surprisingly
limited production of sacred music. Just as important,
the book surveys and recommends recordings of all of
the music discussed, so that listeners can acquire a music
collection of whatever depth suits them best, while the
included CD features top-notch recordings from the
Harmonia Mundi label of a wide range of Handel's music
in all of the major media in which he worked, both vocal
and instrumental. Few composers cared more than Handel
about pleasing his listeners and creating a body of work
that was both entertaining and fun. It's time to blow away
the Victorian cobwebs that have dogged his reputation, and
discover just how much there is to enjoy.
