I do not know what you know about Handel
The occasion was a stage performance Handel's Saul in the year 1937
A man playing David
At the end of the ouverture
And then the chorus sings
Thou shalt bring them in
If they get good editors
He was a funny old boy
He was not obviously rude to singers
He did not normally produce operas
Im Jahr 1937
Winton Dean schuf hier fundamentale Abhandlungen
In seinem Haus am Land
Winton Dean wurde am 16. März 1916 geboren
Bizet schien im Zentrum seines Interesses zu stehen
Auch heute, im Alter von 93 Jahren
I heared Beecham
Beecham had a brass playing in the second recitative
Handel was a master of the orchestra
Sir Arthur Bliss
I said to Sir Arthur
I went to two Salzburg Festival before the war
I remember the italian one had a wonderful cast
Falstaff was marvelous
They set a standard
Memoirs of the Life of the late George Frederic Handel
The only production I had a little say in
In Handel's time the curtain never fell during an act
We must not pauses between
We rehearsed the entire recitatives
James Bowman (Cesare) and Felicity Lott (Cleopatra)
After the war there was a stage production of Solomon
And when the queen of Sheeba came over in the last act
A friend of mine, who was a music teacher, called Philip Radcliffe
His personality
He was notorious for eating and drinking a lot
He was a man who liked his food
But JB Bach died in his sixties
The nons found him playing the organ
Lots of letters from Lord Shaftsbury
A profound dramatic thinker
