A European bestseller in their time, Handel’s 1720 suites are far from having regained, in concert and on disc, the eminent place they once held. Does the fault lie with the anathema pronounced by the ‘pope’ Gustav Leonhardt, who always openly shunned Handel? With the man himself, a startling virtuoso. but keener to compose for the opera? With recordings that are often pleasant but rarely showcase the strongest personalities of their generation? Three decades after the exceptional Scott Ross. Pierre Hantaï in his turn is determined to rehabilitate Handel the harpsichord composer.
