Beloved not only in Britain, George Frideric Handel (1685-1759) is
admired as a composer the world over. His inventive and sensitive
melodic genius and his exuberant brilliance in depicting the
spectacular are best displayed in his Messiah and Zadok the Priest.
Larger than life, Handel impressed all who met him and was adept at
promoting his works, arranging for their publication and even
selling them from his home in London's Brook Street. His dogged
determination to triumph over the many reverses of his career and
the fickle enthusiasms of the Georgian public is the stuff of
three-volume novels. This sympathetic and highly readable biography
by the composer and author William Smith Rockstro (1823-95) was
first published in 1883. Wherever possible, autograph manuscripts
have been consulted and the book contains the first detailed
catalogue of Handel's output. Among other works, Rockstro's
biography of Mendelssohn is also reissued in this series.
