Dear Friends,

encouraged by the appreciation and support received in the previous Handel video series, I present to you some other pieces I have recorded by this fantastic Baroque composer.
From Suite No. 2 of the Eight Great Suites printed in 1720.
Suite No. 2 in F major, HWV 427, contains none of the conventional
dance movements of the typical suite, being similar to an Italian
sonata in form, with a fast-slowfast-slow sequence of movements.
Though in F major, by tradition a pastoral key, the suite opens with a beautiful, highly embellished Adagio in the Italian operatic manner. I hope you enjoy it.

Greetings from Italy
Carmelo

Thank you carmelo again for playing your music whith heart and soul. It is always a pleasure to listen and to see your body language, how you always have a well controlled performance.
I am not a pianist but comparing to my own playing, this piece is a nice example of good technique placed in the service of musical expression, when I feel that you are not playing strictly as if following a metronome (as I do often, sorry) but you are ”little little stretching”, here and there, capable of being many places made little longer or wider… (well, as I feel, it’s a feeling). Had to listen again…  Well done! And - the ending, the last 10 seconds have a little bit ritardando. Good.

Glad you upload Bach and Händel so we can keep coming back and listen to wonderful music in ”carmelo-way”. It’s a priviledge for us all here in the forum. Thank you carmelo.

Best wishes,

Stig
