Handel’s music from his early years, in Hamburg and Italy, has a remarkably sure touch, coupled with an exuberant spirit which he seldom matched again.
The Nine German Arias are to texts by Brockes who, preparing a later edition, praised Handel for ‘[setting] them to music in a very special way’. Emma Kirkby expresses with radiant ease and simplicity the confident Pietistic message which runs through them, of God’s goodness reflected in the beauties of nature.
The F major trio sonata is quite extraordinarily original. Its second movement in particular has some astonishing harmonic moments – 11 of the 12 notes of the chromatic scale occur within the space of a single bar and its surprise ending plumbs harmonic depths which are still striking 300 years after they were written.
