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.

Richard Guisseppe
Atenúa el sol su luz. Decae el día,
de a poco, como la existencia mía.
Atardecer de azucenas. Femeninas.
Sonrisa luminosa. Rosado intenso.
Al menos, con mis ojos. Al menos.
Mientras espera mi boca su sabor.
Unto exquisito, dulce miel eternal.
¡Qué importa, si ya no fui su amor!
Ataviado de riguroso azul. El mar,
mi amigo del alma. Aquí conmigo.
Yo me vine desde lejos, a su lado.
Por razones estrictamente poéticas.
Sí. Tengo tristeza y reminiscencias.
Por esa escasez de amor y ternura.
¡Una gota de amor y acaba mi sed!
UNA GOTA DE AMOR es propiedad intelectual
de Richard Giusseppe RG2020CHILE
EL TABO, corazón del litoral de los poetas.

The harmonic progression on this piece gets me everytime, it speaks a thousand words.
elisabetha zani
I play it every day, several times and i never get tired. it’s marvelous. It touches deeply my heart. It makes me happy.
Burcu
She’s wonderful. The piece is harder to play than it sounds. Also this is the same concert where she plays Schubert’s Serenade and the audience is so loud and annoying! They are driving me insane. They even drop coins in that other video.
elisabetha zani
göttlich, wunderbar, bezaubernd, Balsam für die Seele und gar nicht so einfach zum Spielen. Einmalige, einfühlsame Pianistin!

Handel's 'MINUET' encompasses serenity. Like Plato says: "Music must be felt, it penetrates the soul and cleans it!"
fred garvin
I have been trying to understand why this music, handel, vivaldi, etc effects me and obviously so many people to the point where I just go numb and in a way, merge with the music. this quote from plato, is true, I do think it somehow cleans the soul, makes one heal both physically and mentally. but, you have to be open to it, let it in. It's enough to just enjoy it of course, but to truly let in in, it can transform you.
Helena Williams
@fred garvin Well said! For many of us, listeners to sublime music entice positive energy to the mind and soul.
Music Clásica
A performance that makes you feel moved and excited. Thanks for sharing
Jaspar Sturtzkopf

Tyler Maynard
Captures the soul as always. I could listen too this night and day.
