In 1741, George Frideric Handel wasn't a world-renowned genius. He was a failure. On the brink of bankruptcy, his health shattered by a stroke, and abandoned by London's high society, his career was dead.
In his darkest hour, an anonymous manuscript arrived at his door. And then, a miracle occurred.
Did you know 'Messiah' wasn't written over years, but in just 24 frantic days of obsessive, non-stop creation? Do you know the true story behind Handel's tears when he famously declared, "I did think I did see all Heaven before me, and the great God Himself"?
The latest video from Classical Tales will take you inside Handel's room, where you will witness one of the most dramatic and inspiring creative journeys in music history. In this video, we will reveal:
The Insane 24-Day Marathon: Witness how Handel locked himself away, forgetting to eat or sleep, writing as if possessed by a divine force.
The Immortal 'Hallelujah' Moment: Re-live the legendary moment Handel broke down in tears of spiritual ecstasy and what he confessed to his servant.
The Fiery Showdown in Dublin: The tense confrontation between a desperate Handel and an arrogant diva who nearly sabotaged the premiere.
The Fateful Premiere Night: The historic performance that not only saved Handel's soul, but also freed 142 people from debtors' prison.
This is more than a story about music. It's a journey about human resilience, and how the most sublime beauty can be born from the deepest pain.
Don't miss the story that will forever change the way you hear ‘Messiah’.
