) | Label: Hyperion Catalog: CDA67736 Format: CD Angela Hewitt: pianoGeorge Frideric Handel (1685–1759): Chaconne (with 21 variations) in G major / Suite No 2 in F major HWV427 / Suite No 8 in F minor HWV433
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’ (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.  Price: $22.98 |
