Passion
My first encounter with the music of Ms. Haendel was in the wonderful VHS/DVD "Art of the Violin." The insights offered in the interviews as well as the short excerpt of a performance were such that I was determined to find whatever was available of her works, whether it was in VHS/DVD or CD/Vinyl. The 2 works on this video are incredible. The passion she projects, as well as the technical mastery are breathtaking. I am not pleased with the coy and "girlish" tones whe uses in the interviews shown on this video, but I realize it was probably the norm for the time period in which they were recorded. She probably would have been castigated had she used any other.
