Handel was born, raised and educated in Germany and although he moved around a bit, I didn’t think he would stay in London for the rest of his life. The rooms of his house look lovely, and the front of the houses along Brook St look fashionable, but he didn’t have a wife, parents, siblings or children there. And he had to learn English.

I note he had thousands at his funeral, so he must have won the hearts and minds of the Brits. What about the Germans… did they consider him a German genius?

I thoroughly enjoyed this. I have a deep affection for both of these musicians.
I drive to a backdrop of Handel’s violin concertos. Try it. It’s the perfect antidote to the hideous glut of traffic.
And when you feel like letting your freak flag fly …(a Hendrix lyric, BTW)… whack on “Stone Free” and ride the breeze.

It helps
