A boy swallows a knife, a barber-surgeon, a purse of gold, a German who became England's No.1 musician and why dozens of candles? From his early childhood in Germany to his fame in London, Ann Rachlin tells the Life of Handel. Join her as she floats down the Thames with the King for the first performance of the Water Music in 1717 and stand to the majesty of the Hallelujah Chorus. The music is performed by the London Symphony Orchestra, The King's College Choir, etc. Conductors include Yehudi Menuhin, Sir Charles Mackerras.
