    We have to remember that this is young man's music, in 1720 Handel was only 35, and he would write very little for solo keyboard after this period. Unlike Bach, who continued throughout his life to write in a variety of genres, Handel tended to concentrate so that the summation of his life's work has to be seen through his late oratorios. But because we lack the Handelian equivalent of the Goldberg Variations and the Art of Fugue, we should not dismiss the freedom and bravura of these 1720 pieces. Heidsieck chose Handel, whose suites became lifelong companions - he performed them more than any other pianist, making them dance beautifully but also revealing their moments of melancholy.

    I didn't understand why Beethoven said that he would kneel down on Handel's tomb. But now I do. I cannot believe that such great masterpieces are so little known. They sound more romantic than Baroque. Handel was so much ahead of his time.

      I would just like to add as I listen to Heidsieck play Handel every morning, that is it such a difference when a pianist truly connects with a composer's soul and intent as opposed to being technically proficient, which sadly we see/hear so often in the late 20th and 21st centuries....anyway, Marcelle Meyer and Andras Schiff are to Bach as Heidsieck is to Handel. Look for Meyer's recordings here as well, they are both extraordinary.

    I listen to this recording daily....after reading your notes, it broke my heart that such a genius had to find ways to deal with theft of his creations...seems human corruption just refines itself and continues to thrive. Erick Heidsieck allows Handel to rest knowing that few could give such voice to his work with such brilliance and love. May they both r.i.p.

The fact of the matter is that a translator has existed in art for a long time (starting from the era of romanticism).

      I certainly agree - this is beautiful on harpsichord - I play the instrument myself. And as you say, not originally intended for the "clavicembalo con martelli" ("harpsichord with little hammers" as the piano's inventor Cristofori first named it.) But "not meant for piano" ? - a good performance is always worthy - the first Bach I ever heard was the Swingle Singers, and they wowed me. And then there's Bob James surprisingly fine synthesizer versions of Rameau, or Tomita's of Debussy; orchestrations of piano music like Pictures at an Exhibition or guitar versions of Satie or Albeniz, Granados, etc. Beauty is Beauty, not matter what path she's taken to get to our ears.
