Handel

From the Paper:

"The purpose of this paper is to discuss the book "Handel" by Christopher Hogwood.

This biography of the great German composer whose greatest renown was in England is regarded by many critics as the "definitive" work on the man and his music, and the most esteemed. Mr. Hogwood's background doubtless has much to do with this view, since he was a founder member of the Early Music Consort of London and from 1968 to 1976 was a regular member of that ensemble. He is also a world class conductor, having made his American debut in 1981 with the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl. He has since conducted orchestras all over America, and is something of a "Handel expert."

Handel's father intended that the boy should go in the Civil Service, considered a noble profession at the time."
