About My Name is Handel
 
When Handel, the brilliant young German composer living in London, needed to get back into the king's good graces, he had a brilliant idea... he composed a suite of dances, hired a boat and 50 musicians, and headed down the River Thames to surprise King George I! The music became known as Water Music, one of Handel's best-loved compositions. In this recording, The London Philharmonic performs from Handel's Water Music, Messiah, and Rinaldo throughout the story.
