Handel is the greatest composer that ever lived... I would uncover my head and kneel down on his tomb.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Image
Handel, to him I bow the knee.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Image
Handel understands effect better than any of us -- when he chooses, he strikes like a thunderbolt.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Image
I never listen to music when I am writing. It would be impossible. I listen to Bach in the mornings, mostly choral music also some Handel, mostly songs and arias I like Schubert's and Beethoven's chamber music and Sibelius' symphonies for opera, I listen to Mozart and in recent years Wagner.

There is nothing more profane than the image of an atheist with tears in his eyes conducting the glory and passion of Handel's Messiah.
Frank Schaeffer
Image
It was from Handel that I learned that style consists in force of assertion.
George Bernard Shaw

In a thousand voices singing the Hallelujah Chorus in Handel's Messiah, it is possible to distinguish the leading voices, but the differences of training and cultivation between them and the voices in the chorus, are lost in the unity of purpose and in the fact that they are all human voices lifted by a high motive.

I'd like to get something together - like a Handel, Bach, Muddy waters, flamenco type of thing. If I could get that sound, I'd be happy

Raphael paints wisdom, Handel sings it, Phidias carves it, Shakespeare writes it, Wren builds it, Columbus sails it, Luther preaches it, Washington arms it, Watt mechanizes it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

The only work that can be compared to Chopin's Etudes, innovatively, where every note is essential and one becomes completely exposed, is the Brahms-Paganini variations. These are etudes - not as interesting musically as, say, the Brahms-Handel - but they are incredible.

The first choral music I remember hearing was Handel's 'Messiah' when the Mormon Tabernacle Choir broadcast it over the radio.
Dave Brubeck
Image
The real Brahms is nothing more than a sentimental voluptuary. rather tiresomely addicted to dressing himself up as Handel or Beethoven and making a prolonged and intolerable noise.
George Bernard Shaw
Image
Music has always been a part of my spiritual seeking, from the moment that Handel's 'Messiah' gave me the experience when I was so young, and music has meant so much to me since then.
George Ogilvie
Image
The King walks. He nods. His glance is like God's touch - under it all things spring to life. A wave of his hand and a hundred musicians tear into the Handel, making a sound you've never heard before, and never will again. A sound that goes through you, through flesh and bone, and reorders the very beat of your heart.
