Georg


Georg Friedrich Händel [1685-1759] by Balthasar Denner [1727]

He is somewhat underestimated but he (after all) was Ludwig van Beethoven's rolemodel. GFH made some nice operas that were newly interpreted by Danielle De Niese. I just stumbled upon his Fireworks music that he made for some court festivity when he was at the service of the English king. This is just great and splattering baroque music.

Enjoy
