Winton Dean, a preeminent Handel scholar, chronicles the composer's remarkable journey from his origins in Halle, Germany, through his triumphant career in London, where he reshaped the landscape of opera and oratorio. With meticulous precision, Dean details the full breadth of Handel's output—from the grandeur of Messiah and Solomon to his Italian operas and orchestral works—situating each within its rich historical and cultural context. The tone is rigorously academic yet deeply passionate, reflecting Dean's lifelong dedication to the subject, and the text draws on primary sources to illuminate both the man and his music with exceptional clarity. Originally derived from the landmark The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, this volume stands as an indispensable reference for students, performers, and enthusiasts of Baroque music alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887914987739,"sku":"2026770000154-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/b977f6f2-338e-4d43-8c1e-c7d45335407e.png?v=1781748987","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770000154-secondhand-the-new-grove-handel","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
