Composer
Georg Friedrich Händel
| 1685-1759George Frideric Handel put his exceptionally versatile compositional abilities to the test at an early age. After moving to London in 1712, where he was appointed Composer of Musick for His Majesty’s Chapel Royal in 1723, he wrote numerous masterpieces for the royal court as well as his major opere serie. For many years he enjoyed triumphant successes with his operas, which were sung by outstanding performers, with serenades, and later also with oratorios such as Saul and Israel in Egypt. Over the years Handel’s reputation grew far beyond the city where he worked; some of his choral works, particularly Messiah, have enjoyed a performance tradition which remains unbroken to this day, and are sung by choirs throughout the world.

... Die Rekonstruktion dieses Pasticcios ist allein schon eine riesige Fleißarbeit, und egal, für die Aufführung welcher Fassung man sich auch immer entscheidet - allein für die unglaublich detailreiche und spannend zu lesende Einführung in die Geschichte dieser Passionsvertonung lohnt sich die Anschaffung dieses Notenbandes schon.
Württembergische Blätter für Kirchenmusik, 5/2014
Wenn Bach diese Musik wiederholt aufführte, steht es uns gut an, dies gleichzutun ...
Johannes Ebenbauer, Singende Kirche, Heft 2/2012
Die makelose Ausgabe des Carus-Verlages bietet mit einem hervorragenden Notendruck und einem umfangreichen Vorwort ... die allerbesten Vorraussetzungen [für eine Aufführung].
Michael Hoppe, Musik im Bistum Aachen, April 2012
Die komplizierte Genese dieses Unikums soweit wie möglich zu erschließen, ist eine musikwissenschaftliche Fleißarbeit, die Christine Blanken in ihrem ausführlichen und sehr lesenswerten Vorwort detailreich dokumentiert.
Mathias Michaely, Musik udn Kirche, September 2012
