think the world and you have the best representation of Handel, the greatest composer ever lived

[ssiroe]

Lo sai bene Alfredo che Händel è e sarà sempre il mio idolo numero 1 quanto a musica classica!!!! Un caro saluto

I say, Bach is the greatest, but Handel is definitely one of the greatest. In fact many people say it would be Mozart or Beethoven who are the best. I would much rather listen to Handel!

[achantus1]

@sauron093 I agree! I think Bach is probably the greatest composer who ever lived. Yet I mostly listen to Händel. There is something about Händel that I can't define. An absolute complete composer. And he has a unique expression. Maybe you can define It?

@paradoxicus realment el padre vendria siendo Vivaldi, quien fue el que revoluciono las concepciones del concierto, ademas que su influencia influencia se ve reflejada en grandes musicos posteriores, como Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, Handel, Haynd, etc.

[paradoxicus]

@sauron093 .Cierto.Bach es el mas grande,podrí considerarse el Padre.El hijo,bien pudiera ser Mozart.El Espíritu Santo,póngase a quién se quiera.Bien pudieran ser Haendel,Vivaldi,Beethoven,Tcha­ikovsky,Schumann...

@sauron093 Whatever people might say, I'm certain Mozart and Beethoven would put Bach and Handel before themselves.

HANDEL #1

[gschuetz]

Dear catming2, the pictures are a little bit older than Händel. They were painted between the late 15th (high-renaissance) and 17th century (most of them in the 17th century: manierism and baroque).

Händel was born 1685 (high-baroque) and died 1759 (when baroque was displaced by rococo).

I hope, my explanations weren't too long. :-) And sorry for my English.

Handel is it.
