Here is a review,
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/02/books/review/every-valley-handel-messiah-charles-king.html?unlocked_article_code=1.eU4.ZZDU.IiiLFNQwD4HF&smid=url-share,
written by John Adams (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Adams_(composer)),
who complained that Charles King was an historian and not a musician. Adam's
piece skips over the history: Slavery is a sinister backdrop rather than an
entanglement.
