Everyone loves Bach but no one talks about G. F. Handel.

It's not that they don't want to talk about his music.

They just can't Handel it.

(since no one else wanted this low hanging fruit)

You know what? You enjoy that. You earned it.

Great

harpsichord - Franz Liszt is good as well.

Some people didn't like him and tried to obscure him

I have his entire collection on my media server and I am burning the disk for the coming darkness. Along with the greatest hits of white culture. Like 1.2TB or some such.

How weird that you mention this. I picked up a copy of Handels Messiah at a thrift shop last weekend, and I've been listening to it in my car.

I don't love Bach.

So not everybody.

I love Mozart though, and Wagner, and Tchaikovsky, and Strauss and Rossinni, there are a lot of greats. Bach was ok, but not my cup of tea

How about Rachmaninoff?

Dont know very much about his music, from what I have heard I was never drawn to it like those others

He's the guy who liked to prank people wasn't he?

[ - ] calx [op] 1 point 10 monthsAug 16, 2024 00:39:59 ago (+1/-0)

If I were as smart and talented as G. F. Handel I'd be pranking people left right and center.

I'd heard this before and never knew who it was.

Thanks, bro! \Ω

Any time Fascinus. :) It's kind of a joke but it's true. Handel was always the guy in the background when it comes to Baroque music.

Handel hated tenors. Messiah score is cray
