George Frideric Handel (1685-1759)
Subreddit devoted to the utter delight that is composer George Frideric Handel's music.
Handel was a German-born English composer of the late Baroque era, noted particularly for his operas, oratorios, and instrumental compositions. He wrote the most famous of all oratorios, Messiah (1741), and is also known for such occasional pieces as Water Music (1717) and Music for the Royal Fireworks (1749).

Best recordings of Handel's music?
It can be any piece of his work.
Hi everyone, I'm trying to write a historical mystery series set during Queen Anne's reign (1702-1714), and I read yesterday that Anne supported Handel financially.
I subsequently thought it would be a good idea to create a playlist of music to help me get in the time period.
However, I know next to nothing as to what the best pieces or recordings are! Can you please suggest me some for Handel (or any others you know for this time period)?
I'm cross-posting to r/classicalmusic to hopefully expand the results!

Looking for a vinyl / recording of Karl Richter's organ concertos from this film!
Hi Handel Friends,
I cannot get enough of this version of Karl Richter's organ concertos. The way the organ is turned way up and so powerful - I simply cannot find it in a digital or vinyl recording. I did just order and receive SXL 2115, SXL2201 and SXL2187 but it is from a different recording / mix as the organ is not as powerful....

Anyone have any ideas or clues? I've been searching all over and cannot find it! Thank you.

Shazam cannot identify that.
I'm looking for a piece of music from the 1988 Denis Arcand film "Le declin de l'empire American" that I'm almost positive is by Handel. can't ID that! I need to find this piece of music, almost shure it is Handel... from the movie: "Le declin de l'empire Americain, from Denis Arcand, 1988". Help!

Why is the aria “Qui perde un momento” (Giulio Cesare in Egitto) often only in the recording’s appendix?
I mean this aria from Niremo.
