Handel: Life of a Pop Icon

This unique documentary marks the 250th Anniversary of Handel's death: April 14, 2009.
George Frideric Handel (1685-1759) was the first musician to become a pop icon. His hits like, 'Hallelujah', 'Sarabande' or the Coronation Anthem 'Zadok the priest', which re-emerged in the Champions League Hymn are ear-catchers all over the world and his musical genius and business acumen were brilliant alike. His personality was as eccentric as it was mysterious. His life story abounds in amazing anecdotes -- he was, by the way, the first composer in history about whom a biography was written.

The film is a high-class documentary consisting of 60% re-enactment which show dramatic and hilarious anecdotes from Handel's life including historic personalities like Italian cembalo virtuoso Domenico Scarlatti, German composer Johann Mattheson and opera diva Francesca Cuzzoni and spooky quack John Taylor.

The re-enactments are embedded in the story of Handel's life, filmed at original locations in Germany, Italy and Great Britain, which combine to make this powerful and witty documentary.

Haendel: życie ikony popu (Niemcy, 2008)

Niemiecki kompozytor George Friedrich Heandel (1685-1759) był pierwszym muzykiem, który zasłużył sobie na miano ikony popu. Jego utwory takie jak "Alleluja", "Sarabanda" czy "Hymn Koronacyjny Zadoch Kapłan" stały się przebojami na całym świecie, dając dowód zarówno jego muzycznemu geniuszowi, jak i przenikliwemu zmysłowi biznesowemu. Twórcy programu prezentują zarówno dramatyczne, jak i zabawne anegdoty z życia twórcy, w których pojawiają się takie znakomitości epoki Haendla jak włoski organista i klawesynista Domenico Scarlatti, niemiecki kompozytor Johann Mattheson czy diwa operowa Francesca.
