Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
Rarely does a recording convey such a feeling of total harmony--performance, sound, and overall ambience. Handel's all-too-infrequently heard suites are genuine masterpieces, brimming with melodic brilliance and irresistible rhythmic energy.

Performed with ardent skill on the piano, this is one of the finest Handel recordings ever made. --David Vernier

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Jarrett Reigns in Baroque Music Every Bit as Supremely as in Free Jazz!
There is no need to belabour the excellences of Keith Jarrett's performances of Handel's keyboard suites.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Lovely lessons for keyboard
Jarrett surrender to music making reached new dimensions. Here the cheerful lessons by Georg Friedrich receive a most deserved rendition of graceful execution and control.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - stunningly beautiful!
This is one of the finest classical recordings I have listened to in years -- Jarrett plays with warmth and sympathy, never flashy, and brings these keyboard suites to life.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - beautiful music, beautifully played
If I could give more than 5 stars, I would
