Agreed. Omitting Handel is unforgivable. As Bach was for instrumental music, Handel was for the voice. His music was/is of such exquisite refinement, invention, and perfection that it is not for nothing that Haydn, Beethoven, and Mozart regarded him as the greatest composer of all.

The problem is that a very small % of Handel’s music is still played.
