Recorded and released in the ‘anniversary year’ of both Handel and Haydn, Hyperion’s Record of the Month is an effusive celebration of the two composers, performed by an artist whose renditions of 17th- and 18th-century keyboard works on the piano have received the highest possible acclaim. This recital is a welcome gesture from the ‘high priestess of Bach’ (The Sunday Times). As you will hear, Hewitt’s trademark clarity of line, singing tone and instinctive musicality are perfectly suited to the urbane elegance of the works recorded here. In a fascinating and personal booklet note, Angela Hewitt takes the listener through her own childhood experiences of the works of Handel and Haydn that led her to select the works for this disc, and includes an interesting discussion of historical performance practice. This is an enchanting release that will delight Angela’s legion of fans. “…probing in the deeper waters of Haydn's Variations… Hewitt is with him in his sobriety, lightness fury and eventual exhaustion. …Hewitt unfolds the drama of the last sonata through proud gesture and pathos.” Gramophone , Awards 2009 “The large-scale Haydn E flat Sonata is superb, above all the middle movement in an astonishing and other-worldly E major. Hewitt's dynamic range is bold - she refers to Haydn's feeling for the richness of English Broadwood pianos - and the glittering facility of the final Presto is thrilling.” BBC Music Magazine, October 2009 ***** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Handel - Complete Harpsichord Suites
Michael Borgstede (harpsichord) Handel’s harpsichord music may have languished in the shadow of Bach’s more famed mastery of the instrument, but as these new recordings and scholarly notes by Michael Borgstede show, such comparisons are invidious. Handel was known as a superb keyboard player, and these dance suites exploit the expressive and technical resources of his instrument with no less mastery than that of his Leipzig counterpart, and with a joie de vivre that makes listening a constant diversion and delight. There are very few rival sets of this music on record, and Borgstede has made an important contribution to what will be the worldwide celebrations to mark the 250th anniversary of Handel’s death in 2009. Recorded in 2008. Extensive booklet notes by the performer. “his playing is consistent in its textural clarity, crisp ornamentation and level-headed grasp of the music.” Gramophone Magazine (on Michael Borgstede's Bach recording for Brilliant Classics) | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
