Every Valley
批評家のレビュー
'Charles King shows how Handel’s epic work, the Messiah, sprang not from one solitary composer’s genius but from the dramatic interplay of eighteenth-century lives and their times. Fascinating and accessible to all' (HENRY LOUIS GATES JR)
'Vividly depicting life in Britain during the turbulence of the 1700s, Charles King celebrates Handel's Messiah as a glorious beacon of hope' (ELAINE PAGELS)
あらすじ・解説
Brought to you by Penguin.
Every Valley is the cinematic and moving true story that lies behind the creation of one of the greatest pieces of music ever written, Handel's Messiah.
London, 1741.
An actress mired in scandal plans her escape from an abusive husband.
A penniless sea captain sets out to rescue the city’s abandoned infants.
An African Muslim and former captive in the colonies becomes a celebrity.
A grieving political dissident seeks release from his torment.
And a great composer to kings – George Frideric Handel – now ill and straining to keep an audience’s attention, faces a decision that will secure his place in history.
Evoking a pivotal moment at the birth of modernity, a time of fear, conspiracy and uprising, and featuring some of the most unusual and brilliant personalities of the eighteenth century, Every Valley is a resonant story of hope in the darkness and the entangled lives that shaped a masterpiece.
