Über diesen Titel
In 2020, Stephen Dubner fell madly in love with a piece of music. During the COVID-19 pandemic, struggling with the uncertainty and isolation of the moment, he attended a Christmas concert and really heard Handel's Messiah for the very first time.
Making Messiah takes listeners on an epic journey through the life of composer George Frideric Handel and the creation of his iconic oratorio. Dubner travels to Fishamble Street in Dublin, where the very first performance of Messiah took place in 1742; to London, where Handel composed operas commissioned by the royal family; and to many modern institutions that commemorate and celebrate Handel’s work. Interviewing authors, scholars, and musicians, he explores Handel's influences and finds out how Messiah grapples with the ideas of its era while continuing to have a deep impact on modern culture. Why does an 18th-century Christian oratorio lend such comfort to our own turbulent times? Ultimately, Dubner argues, Messiah is about hope — the piece is a doorway to a world of possibility, and we can't help but make it our own.
Please note: Making Messiah was first released as a podcast series on Freakonomics Radio.
Kritikerstimmen
"Dubner's joy in discovery shines through in his quest to understand Handel's legendary work."
"Some may love Handel's Messiah. Author Dubner is obsessed with it. The host of the popular Freakonomics podcast embarks on a journey to uncover the history of the music and better understand the composer. The audiobook follows a podcast template. Dubner interviews historians and locals in Dublin, unfolding the fascinating story of how Messiah came to be and how it changed Handel's life. Dubner considers key points about the business of music, the particulars of instrumentation, and religious politics. The music, voices, and occasional sound effects are woven together naturally and effectively."
