Händel's musical talent was evident from a young age, and despite his father's initial opposition, he received early musical training and excelled in playing the harpsichord and organ.
In his early 20s, Händel traveled to Hamburg, where he immersed himself in the opera scene. There, he composed his first operas and gained recognition for his talent. Seeking further inspiration and opportunities, Händel journeyed to Italy in 1706, where he studied under renowned composers and absorbed the rich musical traditions of the country. During his time in Italy, he composed numerous operas and sacred music, establishing his reputation as a skilled composer.
In 1710, Händel settled in London, England, where he initially composed Italian operas for the Royal Academy of Music. However, as public taste changed, he transitioned to composing English-language oratorios, which combined elements of opera and sacred music. His oratorio "Esther" in 1718 marked the beginning of his success in this genre.
Händel's fame soared with his composition of the oratorio "Messiah" in 1741. Despite its initial lukewarm reception, "Messiah" eventually became one of the most beloved and frequently performed works in the Western classical repertoire. Händel's oratorios, including "Samson," "Judas Maccabaeus," and "Israel in Egypt," showcased his ability to blend grandeur, emotional depth, and dramatic storytelling.
Beyond oratorios, Händel composed instrumental music, including concertos and orchestral suites. His famous "Water Music" and "Music for the Royal Fireworks" exemplify his skill in crafting joyful and celebratory compositions. Händel's works exhibited a mastery of counterpoint, rich harmonies, and expressive melodies, earning him admiration and patronage from British nobility and royalty.
In his later years, Händel faced financial struggles and health issues, including a gradual loss of vision. However, he continued to compose prolifically, adapting to changing musical trends. Despite setbacks, his final oratorio, "Jephtha," was completed in 1751.
Georg Friedrich Händel passed away on April 14, 1759, leaving behind an immense musical legacy. His compositions played a crucial role in shaping the development of Western classical music, and his influence extended to composers such as Mozart and Beethoven. Händel's music continues to be celebrated for its grandeur, emotional depth, and timeless beauty, ensuring his enduring status as one of the greatest composers in history.

i was just wondering if the late Jeanne Lamon, and her band….. Tafelmusik; ever got the chance to record, Handel’s concerto grossi op 6 ???
Kevin Mallon and his Aradia Ensemble seems to be the best version at the moment? Although marred by a… not so good sound quality recording. In my opinion the microphones are not close enough. The music sounds very quiet; but very crisp and articulate. Also Mallon has included oboes in some parts. That’s great! i would have included oboes in all parts!.
And also, my orchestra.. or band would consist of, female only; no men would ever be allowed. And the instruments would be original where possible; from the 18th century ( not authentic copies) There is a marked difference. Original gut strung instruments always sound the best. Also… there really is no need for a conductor waving a batten around when performing music. Especially 18th century.
I’ve never learned to play an instrument myself; although i did have a go at playing the flute ( modern) and found it very easy to learn to play. But i can listen to a Mozart symphony… or any classical music and other music; and then play it all back in my mind/ thought, all the way through.
It would have be nice though if Jeanne Lamon did record Handel’s concerto grossi op 6. Not keen on the late Christopher Hogwood’s version or Trevor pinnock’s

Music is really easy to memorize when you play it over and over and over. Practice really does make perfect.
Jordi Teixido
I play this video over and over whenever I need some "spirit", and, almost as beautiful as Handel's music, is the fantastic harmony of the eyes, and complicities between these wonderful musicians. Particularly nice the "stop" just before the end.
Barbara Ahern
I think this group is great. I would love to hear the four programs with the narrator in there entirety. Also they have nice sets….imagine playing all this great music by heart…..no music in front of them. Such spirit…
Sachidev Kumar Chilkoor
Just too good. What melody, timing and perfection kudos to this divine group!!
dgcmusi
Took him a month to compose these…What a beautiful performance you have done here…the Op. 6 of Handel and Corelli is some of my most favorite music of all time…
Lloyd Daniel
I just love it when musicians look so happy when they play! Thank you so much!!!!
