Pierre Hantaï

George Friedrich Handel's keyboard music have long remained in the shadow of the more famous oratorios and operas. Undeservedly so, because these works are bursting with inventiveness, charm and the joy of playing. No big hits, but surprising gems waiting to be discovered by everyone - energetic, playful and sometimes unexpectedly intimate. A special opportunity to hear this music as it was intended: elevated to a masterpiece by master harpsichordist Pierre Hantaï.

About the performer

Pierre Hantaï is part of the generation of musicians who firmly established Baroque music in France in the mid-1980s. As a harpsichordist, he looks beyond French music: in 1993, his had his breakthrough with his recording of Johann Sebastian Bach's Goldberg Variations, for which he received a Gramophone Award and numerous other accolades. At the Festival Oude Muziek Utrecht, Hantaï has performed several times with repertoire by English virginalists, Scarlatti, Bach, and Couperin.
