Pressestimmen

"The first of two volumes in a long-awaited study by two preeminent Handel scholars....Essential for all music libraries."--Choice
"Offers an enormous amount of valuable information and many new and perceptive insights. Scholars and general readers alike can learn from it."--The New York Times Book Review
"A rigorous investigation of the bewilderingly abundant musical and literary sources of each opera...its most lasting influence will be on all future editions of Handel's music."--Early Music

Kurzbeschreibung

After two centuries of near total neglect, Handel's operas - nearly forty of them - are becoming increasingly popular in the theatre. However, despite tremendous advances in musicological research in recent years, there is still nothing approaching a reliable edition of the operas, and modern productions are still hampered by dependence on obsolete and inaccurate editions, and by ignorance of the musical and theatrical practice of Handel's age. This work takes the story as far as the spring of 1726, when the Italian singer Faustina Bordoni arrived in London, and covers Handel's first seventeen surviving operas including many of the greatest and most successful. Each opera has a chapter to itself which includes: a full synopsis of the Libretto (including the original stage directions); comparison between the Libretto and its literary and dramatic sources; a discussion of the music with special emphasis on its dramatic power; and a history of the opera in performance General chapters deal with the "Opera Seria" convention and Handel's treatment of it; the operatic background in the three countries where he worked; the operas of his contemporaries and rivals; audiences and performance practice; and other related matters. Eight appendices list all performances in Handel's time (with location of librettos), borrowings, modern revivals, new information on his singers, and a complete index of Italian first lines in all Handel's works. The book is intended for Handelians, students and scholars of music, opera, and theatre in the eighteenth century.

A Great Book about Handel's Operas 19. Juli 2000
Von Ein Kunde - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
The interest in Handel's stage music has risen considerably in the last few decades, and one really needs a book like this for an in-depth reference about the genesis and analysis of his operas. Here one can find a bit about Handel's life as well, but the main focus is on the musico-dramatic structure of his works. I found the author's analysis of Handel's usage of da-capo conventions to create living characters particularly illuminating. The only warning to the potential buyers: this volume talks only about the operas written until 1724, so it does not include analyses of such major works as Alcina, Serse or Ariodante. We still have to wait for the next volume.

In Depth and Easy To Read 26. August 2005
Von C. Counts - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This is a remarkable book. I have been an avid Handel fan since before it was fashionable and I can't tell you how many times I have referred to this book. It contains incredible history and facts, as well as insights into the libretto (including plot structure), relationships of arias to other compositions (= Handel's famous "borrowing"), instrumentation, etc. A real wealth of knowledge.

I have been waiting since 1995 for Volume II where Handel's best (and conversely, most pathetic) works would be analyzed. Sadly, I understand that Mr. Dean has since passed away and thus, I doubt that I will ever see the work completed. If any of you out there are musicologists and/or music historians, please consider filling in this disappointing gap!

the best from the best 30. November 2010
Von Renato Baserga - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
this is a scholarly book on Handel's operas, there is a 2nd volume that treat the operas after 1726. Both are by Dean Winton and he is the best critic on Handel's operas, and Handel's operas are the best Baroque operas. A winning combination. There is not much else to say. If you like Handel's operas, and you wish to understand them better, this book and its companion are a must.
