Point of view of a layman admirer of Handel

At other scholarly feedback! Longtime Familiar Oratorios of 'caro Saxone', it is with amazement that I get to know his operas forgotten, despised, mistreated. Despite Booklets on now works correctly fallen into oblivion, Handel has transcended poor texts, not without amending them, and extract a refined musical substance, in perfect harmony with the words and images, hence the need to follow the text, at least several reprises.On knows what to admire most: a melodic richness that is matched only by the variety of rhythms, the diversity of expressed feelings, never fall into the pathos of a 'bel canto'. Above all, a 'jubilation' indicator of good health I can not find an equivalent in his day, even less in the following.
