Summary: A Wonderful Book!
Comment: For anyone who is interested in Handel and his life and times, this book is for you. A treasure trove of information, Hogwood takes the reader on an fascinating trip through time, exploring Handel's childhood and early years, his prodigious development in music, his tours through Italy, the Opera and Oratorio years in England, and what happened after his death. Packed full of photographs, and reprints of contemporary documents, this book is a feast for the eye and the mind. A chronological table is also included, making it easy to track the events in Handel's career with one glance.
I would certainly recommend this book.

Summary: Truly excellent
Comment: I am amazed by Christopher Hogwood's book. Not only is Hogwood the leader of the brilliant period-instruments ensemble The Academy of Ancient Music and one of the finest conductors of early music, but he is also an outstanding musicologist and writer. He is intelligent and unflagginly entertaining in his narrative representation of Handel's life and works. Especially the chapter 5 on "the Oratorios" may well be the best introduction to Handel's oratorios at all. The book contains also a chronological table, 100 fine illustrations (10 in color), and a map. So If you are interested in musical history and G. F. Handel (1685-1759) this biography is a must.
