James Bowman (Countertenor) - John Mark Ainsley (Tenor) - New College Choir Oxford - u.a. // One of Handel's greatest gifts, and one in which he found more success than any of his contemporaries, was his "management" of patronage. Indeed, it could be argued that it is Handel's career, rather than that of Mozart or Beethoven, that marks the end of the Baroque notion of the composer as a servant.
