EMI Classics, 2005 average customer review:based on 1 review view larger image  for more information click here Collector's Item! Richter and Gavrilov play Handel's Keyboard Suites This used to be available in EMI's double forte series. It went out of print but is now thankfully available in EMI's super cheap Gemini series. This Gemini series has some really great finds and this Handel set is no exception. Buy both 2CD sets and you'll get the whole of Handel's keyboard suites and they've never been realized better than here. It's strange that someone with the stature of Richter would go after this particular repertoire. There is no truly great music here, it's a bit out of the way but a wonderful counterpart to some of Handel's richer works. Richter partnered with the ,( at the time ), young Gavrilov. Gavrilov's playing is so rich and imaginative that just as Richter himself noted, people couldn't tell the difference which suite was played by old man Richter or young gun Gavrilov when they listened to this recording. ( Don't worry, the credits are marked in the liner notes for all to see. ) I would say this set is a winner on all counts. Buy this and the other volume as well.  for more information click here Tracks 1: Prélude | 2: Allemande (Andantino) | 3: Courante (Allegro moderato) | 4: Gigue (Presto) | 1: Adagio | 2: Allegro | 3: Adagio | 4: Fuga (Allegro) | 1: Prélude (Presto) | 2: Fuga (Allegro) | 3: Allemande (Andantino quasi Allegretto) | 4: Courante (Allegretto) | 5: Air (Lento non troppo) | 6: Presto | 1: Fuga (Allegro) | 2: Allemande (Allegro moderato) | 3: Courante (Allegretto tranquillo) | 4: Sarabande (Allegretto con moto) | 5: Gigue (Vivace) | 1: Prélude (Allegro moderato) | 2: Allemande (Andantino) | 3: Courante (Allegro) | 4: Air con variazioni (Andantino) | 1: Prelude (allegro moderato) | 2: Largo | 3: Fuga (Allegro) | 4: Gigue (Presto) | 1: Ouverture (Adagio-Presto-Adagio) | 2: Andante | 3: Allegro | 4: Sarabande (Andante con moto) | 5: Gigue (Vivo) | 6: Passacaglia (Allegro commodo) | 1: Prélude (Adagio) | 2: Fuga (Allegro) | 3: Allemande (Allegro moderato) | 4: Courante (Allegro) | 5: Gigue (Presto) products you might be interested in recommendations 'CLASSICAL COMPOSERS 'PORTRAITS' (PT1) BEGAN APRIL 25,2007 (#1-10) IN THE POCKET(HANDEL] Keyboard Suites Nos.1-3|Sviatoslov Richter Superb Classical Keyboard Recordings handel Sarah Brightman Classics Songs of Joy & Peace Deluxe Version 25 Classical Favorites The Most Relaxing Classical Music in the Universe Build Your Baby's Brain   search for classical music keyboard suites, handel, keyboard, suites      toavi.com    web randomly chosen DVD: A Stained Glass Christmas with Heavenly Carols (Widescreen) [Blu-ray]
