| |  | Handel - Keyboard Works
Ragna Schirmer plays the 1720 and 1733 keyboard suites on a modern concert grand piano. "All these finely recorded performances are models of musical grace and resilience." Gramophone July 2008 “The music's formal origins in dance are reflected via Schirmer's well judged tempi… and are always propelled by assertive, shapely bass-lines. …for overall artistry and excellent engineering, this is the Handel cycle to acquire if you desire these works on piano.” Gramophone Magazine, June 2009 | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |

| |  | 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. |

“Schiff is unquestionably among the most gifted and mercurial musicians of our time; a 'masterpianist' indeed. His programme, too, is exemplary with Handel's theme heard again in Brahms's Handel Variations and with Reger's massive Bach Variations as a daunting and enterprising close. Schiff is admirably suited to the Handel suite, getting off to a bold and improvisatory start and continuing with much of his recognizable brio and originality.” Gramophone Magazine | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
