Bach. \n\n\n\nAngela’s programme is a joyful celebration of the Baroque. A lovely Italianate suite by Handel\, with more than a hint of the opera aria\, is followed by Bach’s sparkling baroque dances. The Haydn sonata brings a change of mood: grand and spacious\, it is his final piano sonata and is generally accepted as his greatest. \n\n\n\nPost interval\, Handel’s delightful Chaconne precedes Brahms’ Variations and Fugue on a theme by Handel. The theme is the Air from Handel’s B-flat major harpsichord suite\, a simple melody Brahms teases\, and toys with through twenty-five kaleidoscopic and brilliantly structured variations. Brahms greatly admired Handel.
