HANDEL: THE HARMONIOUS BLACKSMITH

Of all of Handel’s works, it is in most of his solo harpsichord pieces that we may get a glimpse of his creative youth. But in others, we meet him in his full maturity, as the master to whom Beethoven would declare: “To him I bend the knee!” Among this great music’s immense interpretive challenges are a distinct undercurrent of haughtiness and pride, eloquent sculpting of the Urlinie, élan, and – above all – euphony.
