Printed in 1720, the 8 "Great" Suites were the first set of keyboard pieces that Handel chose to present to the London public. As performed here by Richard Egarr, this magnificent collection demonstrates Handel's unique "orchestral" keyboard style and grand sweep, combining Italian virtuosity and the French style brisé.

Avec les 8 "grandes" Suites, parues en 1720, Haendel offrait au public londonien son premier recueil de pièces pour clavier. L'interprétation de Richard Egarr révèle toute l'originalité de cette écriture "orchestrale" dont la majestueuse ampleur réunit le goût italien pour la virtuosité et le "style brisé" français.

Die 1720 im Druck erschienenen acht "Großen" Suiten waren die erste Sammlung von Klavierwerken, die Händel für würdig hielt, sie dem Londoner Publikum zu präsentieren. Die eindrucksvolle Sammlung, hier gespielt von Richard Egarr, ist gekennzeichnet durch den unvergleichlichen "orchestralen" Klavierstil Händels, der italienische Virtuosität mit dem französischen style brisé verbindet.
