This important new recording revisits George Frideric Handel's monumental Suites de Pièces pour le Clavecin subsequently known as the Eight Great Harpsichord Suites as well as his Chaconne in G major and some world première recordings of Handel's superb arrangements of operatic arias and ouvertures which were specially reworked and ornamented by Handel for the harpsichord. The album celebrates the 300th anniversary of the first publication of these works on 14 November 1720.
