 | | Description: | Ouvertures by Christiane Karg, released 10 March 2016.
This version of Ouvertures comes as a 1xCD. - JOHN KITCHENHandel's overtures had an independent life almost from their inception, and the practice of performing them on keyboard instruments has a similarly long pedigree, beginning with a number of transcriptions made by the composer himself. John Kitchen virtuosically evokes Handel's orchestral palette in the welter of timbres and colors which he summons forth from the Russell Collection's 1755 Jacob Kirckman Harpsichord, a classic instrument from the very apex of the English Harpsichord-building tradition. Interspersed between the overture transcriptions are two of Handel's suites written for the Harpsichord; these are played on a 1709 single-manual Thomas Barton instrument from the Rodger Mirrey Collection, one of very few extant early eighteenth-century English Harpsichords. It's modest size and unpretentious appearance do not prepare the listener for the extraordinarily rich and characterful sound that emerges.Recording Date: 17-18 December 2008.
Made and printed in the EU.This CD presents a compelling selection of Handel overtures performed on organ by John Kitchen, offering a fresh and atmospheric perspective on the theatrical brilliance of George Frideric Handel. With clarity, vitality and stylistic finesse, Kitchen shapes the grand ceremonial openings, festive fanfares and lyrical interludes of these overtures into a coherent and engaging listening experience. The recording emphasizes both the majestic breadth and the intimate colors of Handel's writing, making this disc suitable for focused listening as well as background enjoyment. The warm, detailed sound captures the full dynamic range of the instrument and allows Handel's contrapuntal ingenuity to emerge with exceptional transparency. As a whole, the album is an ideal choice for Baroque enthusiasts and for listeners who wish to discover Handel's orchestral overtures in a new sonic guise.
