Reviews

'Not only do the carefully selected examples superbly articulate the points Kimbell wishes to make, but readers are also provided with a range of additional elements to help them follow the argument or fill potential gaps in background knowledge. ... This well-written study is an essential read for anyone with an interest in Handel's operas.' Matthew Gardner, Early Music
