Reviews

One of the great monuments of musical scholarship of our day - a mine of information lucidly delved, sharply stimulating...a pleasure to read for its crisply expressed, infinitely discerning and above all loving responses to the works themselves.
*FINANCIAL TIMES*

This volume is a monument to the source-critical method. It is a rigorous investigation of the bewilderingly abundant musical and literary sources of each opera, and its most lasting influence will be on future editions of Handel's music.
*EARLY MUSIC*

This is a volume that every listener to or viewer of Handel's operas will want to purchase, and examine at length...Top marks for this reissue.
*FANFARE*
