The Madness of King George

Composer: Music: Handel, Adaptation: George Fenton
Total Time: 47:31
Availability: ****
Rating: ****

Since the music is by Handel, I can't really comment on the music, can I? Some nice selections of Handel music. I think the adaptation job of Fenton is very good too. He makes the music not as boring as the original. (I personally find many Handel's work boring, except Messiah, which is not in the soundtrack, and Royal Fireworks) Most of the selections are from Saul. If you like Handel's work, it is a neat one get.
