George Frideric Handel by Ellen T Harris
An intimate portrait of Handel's life and inner circle, modelled after one of the composer's favourite forms: the fugue.
"..a sequence of thematic chapters, each with its own timeline, charting the composer's career through others' eyes and ears, evoking more vividly than most the society in which Handel moved." -- Hugh Canning, Sound Choices 2014 - The Sunday Times
