Varvara | Baroque on the Piano: from Purcell to Handel MarchVivo

Purcell's most important collection of keyboard music appeared posthumously in 1696, and contains his eight suites for keyboard. In 1720 Handel published his Suites de pièces, a representative corpus of a genre composed between Hamburg and London. The performance of this harpsichord repertoire on the piano offers a new insight into the greatness of this music. This concert was held during the period of severe restrictions on audiences in concert halls by COVID 19.
