Pierre Hantai (harpsichord)About
Alternating between the French and Italian styles, Handel does not respect the customary sequence of dance suites of the period. But he does touch the heart. On this recording, harpsichordist Pierre Hantaï brings out all the direct charm and imaginative power of these these remarkable works.
Reviews
[Hantaï’s] performances are clean-cut and thought-out, full of pert little trills and mordents, tasteful rhythmic dislocations and a variety of spread-chord formulations. They are wonderfully effective in the quieter, slower movements, where his instrument sings sweetly, but the range of shrewdly used harpsichord techniques extends into the more extrovert movements too... what could be more perfect?
