Pietro Soraci links Schumann and Brahms to philosophy, showing sonata form as a drama of conflict, tradition and artistic transformation.

This Da Vinci Classics album is the second volume of Fernando De Luca’s recording of Handel’s complete keyboard works, and it includes some multi-movement works (such as Suites HWV 448, 449 and 445 and Partitas HWV 444 and 454) along with shorter individual pieces. Several of these works are found in a publication of 1733, when Handel offered some of his youthful keyboard works to the public, following the success of another publication of 1720. In the quick movements we find the bubbling energy and enthralling liveliness of Handel’s joie de vivre, whilst the slower movements frequently display a touching intensity of feeling and expression. This recording project demonstrates the variety and the nuances of Handel’s creative power and fantasy, along with the exceptional artistic worth of these works, which deserve to be more frequently played and listened to.
