Handel / Ogawa
Description:
The London-based player Asako Ogawa has composed a collection of Handel's major suites, including "The Well-Tempered Blacksmith" Handel was a master of the keyboard, as were Bach and Scarlatti, who were born in the same year. Among his remaining works, the "Eight Suites," published in London in 1720, are particularly important. The music freely integrates various tastes, including Italian refinement, French elegance, and German tradition, and is a masterpiece nicknamed the "Grand Suite. The music is full of Handel's unique charm, with fugues and variations interspersed throughout the piece, yet colored by a free and uninhibited narrative. No. 5 is a fine work that includes the famous "The Well-Tempered Blacksmith. The London-based keyboardist Asako Ogawa gives an eloquent performance. The composition is arranged with the sharp key on the first disc and the flat key on the second disc, and it is interesting that the "Chaconne" and "Passacaglia" (the finale of No. 7) are similar to each other at the end of each disc. This is the second album on the First Hand label. King International
