Till Sailer
tells twelve vivid
stories of the childhood
and youth of the composer
Georg Friedrich Handel in
Halle, his trials at the
Hamburg Opera, his first
successes in Italy and
his 'second life' in
England. In London where
Handel had the most
prolific time of his life
he wrote such
masterpieces as 'Water
Music' and the oratorio
'Messiah' with the famous
Hallelujah chorus.
Accurate in historical
details, sensitive and
always with a touch of
humour, this book lets
the reader gain an
insight into the
peculiarities of Handel's
personality and the
characteristic features
of his epoch.
