Happy birthday, George Frideric Handel! I concede it’s a little unorthodox to celebrate Handel’s genius by way of one of Sir Thomas Beecham’s arrangements of selections from his operas into a work he would have scarcely recognized, but at least it isn’t the “Water Music.”
Does anyone else think Sir Thomas would have made a terrific Colonel Sanders?
I like this even better. I’ve got it on CD. Beecham really conducts the hell out of the battle music.
