We have to remember that this is young man's music, in 1720 Handel was only 35, and he would write very little for solo keyboard after this period. Unlike Bach, who continued throughout his life to write in a variety of genres, Handel tended to concentrate so that the summation of his life's work has to be seen through his late oratorios. But because we lack the Handelian equivalent of the Goldberg Variations and the Art of Fugue, we should not dismiss the freedom and bravura of these 1720 pieces. Heidsieck chose Handel, whose suites became lifelong companions - he performed them more than any other pianist, making them dance beautifully but also revealing their moments of melancholy.

I didn't understand why Beethoven said that he would kneel down on Handel's tomb. But now I do. I cannot believe that such great masterpieces are so little known. They sound more romantic than Baroque. Handel was so much ahead of his time.
These suites epitomize Baroque keyboard music.
Händel's suites are amazing and ahead of their time. They remind me of Beethoven's piano works.
You are quite right,they are definitely underrated
Those suites were written for harpsichord… played on such instrument they sound a lot more baroque !
Eric Heidsieck is an amazing pianist. Truly a great artist.
Wunderschöne und elegante Interpretation dieser acht perfekt komponierten Tastensuiten in verschiedenen Tempi mit klarem doch zugleich anmutigem Anschlag und mit künstlerisch kontrollierter Dynamik. Wahrlich intelligenter und unvergleichlicher Pianist!
These Suites are spectacular. Handel, one of the greatest virtuosi of the organ and harpsichord of the Baroque, and of all time. 47:29 I loved this Fuga. One of the best I've ever heard
Maestro Handel. I’ve missed you! Have been away awhile but just now was brought back. Never again will I stray!
Erstaunliche Handwerkskunst !!! Eric erweckte Melodien auf magische Weise zum Leben !!! Tepper Michael.
At a loss for words. Thank you 🙏
Another absolute jewel from Classical Music/Reference Recording, thank you so much (sending love ).
I would just like to add as I listen to Heidsieck play Handel every morning, that is it such a difference when a pianist truly connects with a composer's soul and intent as opposed to being technically proficient, which sadly we see/hear so often in the late 20th and 21st centuries....anyway, Marcelle Meyer and Andras Schiff are to Bach as Heidsieck is to Handel. Look for Meyer's recordings here as well, they are both extraordinary.
such great music, but the best for me is that thisi s a new pianist for me....fabulous recording....
the best rendition of handel keyboard ive ever heard
and he was black
Big thanks for sharing this underrated artist's huge pianism. Im always in awe listening to him and wondering why he wasnt more of a wellknown household name.
I'd rather say "relatively unknwon" than "underrated". That said, I agree with your main sentiment.
Ю
Wonderful!!! Thanks🤗💐🎶🎵🎼🌹👌💃👌
MERVEILUX, MAGNIFIQUE , EXTRAORDINARIE ,MERCI
Heidesieck .... a pure genius!
I listen to this recording daily....after reading your notes, it broke my heart that such a genius had to find ways to deal with theft of his creations...seems human corruption just refines itself and continues to thrive. Erick Heidsieck allows Handel to rest knowing that few could give such voice to his work with such brilliance and love. May they both r.i.p.
Handel “stole” his own music, as did Bach and many other composers.
What a comment... Handel is the greatest
The trill. Haendel and the trill! Thank you for this precious upload!!!!
美しく 素晴らしい曲を聴ける 、今この時間が幸せです😌💐
Ооо, Это просто изумительно Душевно! Вошел в мое настроение. Благодарю!
素晴らしいピアニストですね！
そしてヘンデルの傑作
Just wonderful. I would never have guessed these were by a (relatively) young Haendel.
That's wonderful!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart !!!
아름다운 피아노 연주곡 잘 들었습니다~감사합니다~🎵🎹🌿🍀☘🌹🌹☘🍀🌿❤❤수고 많으셨습니다~☕
I can listen to Händel for hours! Especially played by Heidsieck or conducted by van Beinum.
Thank you for sharing to us those nice Quatre Suttes.

Major Winchester, is that you?
Do not dismiss his operas!
@@dolinaj1 Quite .40 or so of them!
Réverbération profonde de l'âme !
Truly divine. Thank you.
Me encanta!!! Hay algo de melancolía que no encuentro en otros!
Thanks very beauty music...
Haendel piano suites 라 !
낭만성까지 갖춘 세련되고 멋진 곡이네요.
very good ! wonderfull !
thank you !
Händel's Suites are amazing and ahead of their time. They remind me of Beethoven's piano works.
Handel was already very brilliant after the premiere of his first 'Wagner's length' opera Almira written when he was 19.
Meraviglioso...
Desde México, un saludo!!
Thenk you !
oh wow!
Buena interpretación
Handel himself is a great keyboard virtuoso. He is draw with Domenico Scarlatti who wrote 555 Keyboard sonatas in a open competition !
Class! - straight off.
Love it. Is this available for download in High fidelity ? I don't see it on the website link
I have the near complete recording of Handel keyboard works on the harpsichord on Brilliant cds 8 cd set.

Georg Friedrich Händel 23 February 1685 - 14 April 1759
Virtuoso, where there is one.
Alemande is too simply executed
It 's strange to think that Handel and Bach never met each other.
1.28.48 al 1.32 .10
he wrote these for harpsichord and not for pianoforte.
He didn't have much choice.
@@PaulHummerman if there was a modern monster piano in Handel‘s time, he would have written different music.
I tell my students: Homer created his poems for people who could not read/write, seating them in a semicircle on the ground around an altar. But modern people, with more refined aesthetic skills, with changed hearing and eyes, do not want to return to the past!
@@user-vz4fy8uw9y how can you enjoy homer at his best?
Exactly, reading it in ancient greek.
@@m.p.2234 If you follow your logic, then you can ideally enjoy music only if you read it from notes or perform it yourself. The fact of the matter is that a translator has existed in art for a long time (starting from the era of romanticism). The pianist translates not only the notes into a live sound, but also the old into the present.
I think its very good, other than the allemandes being too fast.
Not meant to be for piano. This is beautiful harpsichord music.
Since Bach is so often played at piano, no reason Handel should not be as well from time to time (after all, he played himself on a pianoforte in 1736 his opera Arminio, as the earl of Shaftesbury told the story in a letter).
Feel free to not listen if it offends your ears. The rest of us will be too busy enjoying the music to note your absence.
I certainly agree - this is beautiful on harpsichord - I play the instrument myself. And as you say, not originally intended for the "clavicembalo con martelli" ("harpsichord with little hammers" as the piano's inventor Cristofori first named it.) But "not meant for piano" ? - a good performance is always worthy - the first Bach I ever heard was the Swingle Singers, and they wowed me. And then there's Bob James surprisingly fine synthesizer versions of Rameau, or Tomita's of Debussy; orchestrations of piano music like Pictures at an Exhibition or guitar versions of Satie or Albeniz, Granados, etc. Beauty is Beauty, not matter what path she's taken to get to our ears.
@@ericwyness9089 Thanks for that mention ot Bob James recording I'm a fan of Rameau since Greg Sokolov's performances first appeared here on YT and am amazed to know that someone actually was doing this type of music in the sixties.
