Handel The Man and His Music by Jonathan Keates
Charts George Frideric Handel's life, from his youth in Germany, through his brilliantly successful Italian sojourn, to the opulence and squalor of Georgian London. This biography includes commentaries on his major works, as well as many less familiar pieces by this most inventive, expressive and captivating of composers.
"Will still be valued in a hundred years' time..the book as a whole is an event" -- Peter Phillips Spectator "Full of extremely penetrating, well-judged observations on both man and music." -- Nicholas Kenyon The Times "His creative engagement sympathetically draws out Handel's motivation as a composer." -- Tom Sutcliffe Guardian
