Handel - Organ Concertos, Op.4: Ottavio Dantone, Accademia Bizantina

Their playing is energetic, bold and crisp without being dry: textures are very clear but without sounding thin or losing any momentum. Handel's preeminence as an opera composer comes to the fore in these versions more than the others I've heard, giving us truly dramatic effects and a real sense of interaction between the players, with Dantone's organ center stage. More so than any other performance of Handel's keyboard works (by the above mentioned soloists as well as Paul Nicholson's disc of harpsichord sonatas), this disc crystallized the idea of Handel the virtuoso shredding away at the keyboard... 01.

Bach: The Well Tempered Clavier. Book I I 5.0 out of 5 stars   excellent recording ,  December 7, 2003 By  esseyo  (Jersey City, NJ United States) -  See all my reviews This review is from:  Bach: Das Wohltemperierte Clavier, Teil II (Audio CD) I have been highly anticipating the release of this recording in the US. Having heard a number of harpsichord WTC recordings of which all were unsatisfying due to poor choice of instrument, indulgent tempos, or agonizingly dry playing, I was thinking I would never find a great harpsichord WTC recording. Dantone's recording is a great harpsichord recording that will stand the test of time. The preludes are played superbly with well placed and well choosen ornaments, rubato, and sighs. The tempo of the fugues avoid extremes and are very satis...

Bach: The Well Tempered Clavier. Book I  Ottavio Dantone studied organ and harpsichord at and graduated from the Conservatory "G. Verdi" in Milan.

In 1985, he was awarded the basso continuo prize at the International Paris Festival and in 1986, he received an award at the International Bruges Festival (two of the most renowned harpsichord festivals in the world). He was the first Italian to have achieved such recognition at the international level for the harpsichord.
