Georg Friedrich Händel: Suites For Keyboard
from: Ecm Records
: :Rarely does a recording convey such a feeling of total harmony--performance, sound, and overall ambience.

The performances likewise are brilliant and irresistible--clear, detailed, stylish, and surprising in their expressive range. Performed with ardent skill on the piano, this is one of the finest Handel recordings ever made. --David Vernier

Joel Smirnoff, formerly second, now first violinist, has a brilliant technique and an ...
