Editorial Reviews

As a composer of keyboard music, Handel is known today for a single piece, a theme and variations nicknamed The Harmonious Blacksmith which appears as the finale to the Fifth Suite. This first-rate set includes all eight harpsichord suites which Handel published in 1720, and it proves that there's more to Handel's keyboard music than that one single work, delightful though it certainly is. As his recordings of Bach and Couperin for Harmonia Mundi amply prove, there is no finer Baroque harpsichord player alive today than Kenneth Gilbert, and he attacks this music with such enthusiasm and relish that you'll be amazed it's so little known today. Pure fun. --David Hurwitz
