SANGIOVANNI,SCIPIONE - H?ndel: 9 Suites (Sealed) (2CD)

The Suites for Keyboard Instruments by Georg Friedrich H?ndel never reached the level of recognition of the suites of Johann Sebastian Bach (French & English Suites, Partitas) or the sonatas of his Italian contemporaries. Domenico Scarlatti. Nevertheless it is a matter of successful and attractive works in the typical H?ndel style, characterized by the the synthesis of South German and Italian characteristics, in strict French style and structure. Although at first glance the suites do not seem virtuoso, they definitely represent a challenge for the interpreter. The musical content is clearly linked to Handel's great oratorios, operas and orchestral music: Bold. dramatic and with a wide range of expression, dramatic and with a wide palette of expression from festive to intimate. The young Italian pianist Scipione Sangiovianni plays the suites on a modern grand piano. His interpretation is stylish, natural and deeply musical. He never tries to imitate the harpsichord, but lets the music speak for itself. Scipione Sangiovanni is a prizewinner of several international piano competitions, among others. of the debut International Piano Competition in New York.
