Handel in London: The Making of a Genius

In 1712, a young German composer followed his princely master to London. Both would remain there for the rest of their lives. The master would become King George II and the composer was the largely self-taught George Frideric Handel. Jane Glover, who has conducted Handel throughout the world, draws on her profound understanding of music and musicians to tell a story of music-making and musicianship, practices and practicalities, courts and cabals, theatrical rivalries and 18th century society - and some of the most remarkable music ever written.
