About

'At long last we can now offer you Handel’s complete organ concertos in the version for piano and orchestra in a specially priced box. The positive resonance to this project has shown that the transfer of the solo part of Handel’s organ concertos to today’s piano is a perfectly natural move. What for Bach’s harpsichord concertos is a universally accepted repertoire for all world-class pianists also in fact functions for Handel: it reveals a thrilling new sound world, and we even dare to claim that it is first in this form that the depth and beauty of these concertos can truly be heard!'
