    Just released on Apple Music. I'm a huge fan of the the Handel keyboard suites. Just started listening to this now, so no opinion yet.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      Meh.

      Very dry. No passion or joy in it.

      Gimme Ragna Schirmer's or Murray Perahia's performance any day.

          This guy's WTC is very good IMO. He also has a WTC2 performance on youtube.

            @Horace at 3:02, does he repeat the G in measure 9?

              That's disappointing to hear. I've liked Cho in some things I've heard though I've not heard him in Handel. I have both the Perahia and Schirmer recordings - and agree that they're excellent.

                Yeah, it was, of course, technically very good, but didn't have the "soul" or "joy" that Perahia and Schirmer have. Jarrett's recordings of the suites are a bit on the dry side, but I still enjoy them.

                  I don't know. Are you familiar enough with that piece that it sounded wrong to you?

                        That's right. I mis-heard.

                        I just found it glaring, because that's the fugue subject - the ascending 5 note motif.

                              Listened to it earlier today.

                              It's quick, but not as frantic as Claude Frank.

                              Still quicker than I can play (esp the 2nd theme).

                                    White City is one of my favorite albums. I haven't listened to it in a while. I came across this, and I'll give it a spin stream this weekend.
