In this valuable collection of essays, published to coincide with
the tercentenary of Handel's birth, Reinhard Strohm examines the
relationship between Handel's great operas and the earlier European
Baroque tradition, focusing on the Italian school, to which they
are so crucially indebted. Handel's immediate heritage included the
figures of Scarlatti, Gasparini and Vivaldi; this book establishes
that context, concentrating on contemporary operatic practice, and
proceeds to analyse three of Handel's best-known works. It shows
how they elaborate and develop the style and method of the Italian
operatic theatre, embracing previous traditions and synthesizing
them with a new and exciting accentuation.
