Pierre BECOMES G. F. Handel in this extraordinary performance. His unerring sense of the inherent musicality of each phrase transports it from the realm of a plain statement to the highest form of musical oratory, and linked together for each movement of the Suite, we are in the presence of absolutely stunning musicianship. How marvelous to hear a truly superior technique like Pierre's in the absolute service of genial musicality, instead of just a showcase for pianistic fluency! Bravissimo Pierre Hantai, nous sommes vos serviteurs!!!

A flamboyant opening transcribed from operatic overture - the fact is, there exists a harpsichord reduction probably by Mr Handel himself, not preserved fully and published "as is" unfinished in the new Halle Edition. So Monsieur Hantaï might have taken it as basis and made his own complete version, so marvellously played :)

@@jimbo2629 A lot of keyboard instruments of that time period tuned the bottom octave to a "short octave," basically to extend the low range of the instrument. It would still be notated in the score as the sounding pitch; but this is why in, for example, Scheidt's Tabulatura Nova, there are some intervals in the low octave which appear impossible to play; but it would be assumed that the harpsichord would have a short octave on the bottom which would make that possible.

I keep coming back to this! The first movement of the overture from the original version of Il Pastor Fido (1712) is a great piece. Except for the final movement I don't think there is a contemporary transcription of the other movements from this overture but they are equally fantastic. A keyboard arrangement of the final movement of the overture concludes another D minor harpsichord suite (HWV 428).

Unfortunately, only 4 Grabner harpsichords survived today, this is a copy of the oldest one,1722 by Johann Heinrich Grabner the elder, now in Prague, perhaps played by Mozart in his Don Giovanni. Much altered from the original concept. Here is a good(in sound)copy by Humeau, perhaps the bass is not very strong like the original at his time.

Another excellent interpretation from, for me, the best harpsichord player today. I have been following Pierre Hantaï's recordings for about 20 years and I am very sorry that I cannot watch him live because not everyone has the financial possibility to travel and sustain a stay in order to see him. However, I consider myself privileged to have seen him live in Lisbon (Centro Cultural de Belém) playing the Goldberg Variations, BWV 988 by the insurmountable Bach. Just a curiosity... Did anyone else notice who's in the front row watching the concert? Another giant of ancient music interpretation, Jordi Savall (14'19'') ----- Mais uma interpretação excelente daquele que, para mim, é o melhor cravista da actualidade. Já há cerca de 20 anos que sigo as gravações de Pierre Hantaï e tenho muita pena de não o poder assistir ao vivo porque nem todos têm a possibilidade financeira para viajarem e sustentarem uma estadia de forma a o poder ver. No entanto, considero-me privilegiado por tê-lo visto ao vivo em Lisboa (Centro Cultural de Belém) a tocar as Variações Goldberg, BWV 988 do inultrapassável Bach. Apenas uma curiosidade... Mais alguém reparou quem é que está na fila da frente a assistir ao concerto? Um outro gigante da interpretação de música antiga, Jordi Savall (14'19'')
