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!'

Awards and reviews
February 2021
Handel’s keyboard playing was commended by a contemporary for his ‘uncommon brilliance and command of fingers,’ two qualities Kirschnereit possesses in spades; but stylish exuberance co-exists with a welter of stylistic anachronisms that can passingly push the music closer to CPE Bach, Mozart and even, at times, Beethoven.
