Handel's Church: St. George's at Hannover Square, London

The newly installed organ at St. George's Hannover Square, London

The nave in noonday sun.

Back in London, we are again popping into churches. St. George's at Hannover Square in Mayfair has been under renovation for almost a year, with doors locked and covered with scaffolding. What a delight to pass by and discover that it was again open. We missed the noon concert, but that just means an excuse to return.

You can see a beautiful watercolor painting of the church in the My Name is Handel: The Story of Water Music CD by Maestro Classics, Number 8 in the Stories in Music series. No. 9, The Story of a Soldier (Stravinsky's L'Histoire du Soldat) was due on Dec. 6. Still has not arrived at the office but its arrival will be the best Christmas gift ever!
