										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Having studied with the greatest performers and teachers, Paolo Zanzu is now one of the major figures in the harpsichord world in Europe and in the world. […] He is an inspiration as a teacher and a concert artist.</em><br />
(France Musique)</p>
<p>Of the three great collections of keyboard suites that Bach produced, the English Suites were probably written first – around 1720 at Köthen. While we may marvel at their imposing architecture, along with their lyricism unfettered by formal constraints, or indeed the tender grace of their galanteries, what really makes these pieces unique is their power, their grandeur and above all their unbridled virtuosity, which together make them a landmark in the keyboard repertoire.</p>

<p><em>Formé par les plus grands interprètes et professeurs, Paolo Zanzu est une des figures majeures du clavecin en Europe et dans le monde. […] Il mène une inspirante carrière de concertiste et de pédagogue.</em><br />
(France Musique)</p>
<p>Des trois grands recueils de suites que Bach a écrits pour le clavier, les Suites anglaises sont très probablement les premières à avoir été composées, autour de 1720 à Köthen. Si dans ces pièces l’on peut admirer une construction architecturale de dimensions grandioses, un lyrisme qui s’affranchit des contraintes formelles ou encore la grâce tendre des galanteries, ce qui les rend incontestablement uniques ce sont la puissance, la grandeur et surtout la virtuosité sans frein, qui en font un recueil majeur de la littérature pour clavier.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A fount of inexhaustible creativity, Handel more than any of his contemporaries embodies the spirit of his century. He was a prolific composer who left an indelible mark on his contemporaries’ memory, and over the centuries became synonymous with the musical genres on which he brought his genius to bear.</p>
<p>By the time he published his eight “Great Suites”, he had already travelled a good deal and learned from every country in which he had stayed; as a result he was capable of writing a suite in which an adagio of Italian inspiration suggests the colours of dawn over the Thames, or in which a courante of French character is constructed with the solidity of a German cathedral. Handel sang and made the harpsichord sing: whether in the moving airs and ornamented adagios in the style of Corelli, in the French-style dances, in the severe German fugues, or in the Purcellian “lessons” in which he conjures an ineffably English vividness.</p>
<p>The logical extension of this singular talent was that Handel’s contemporaries began to produce solo harpsichord transcriptions from his operas. So his close and faithful friend and pupil William Babell wrote transcriptions of the master’s most celebrated arias, with success. Himself a virtuoso, Babell succeeded in transforming Handel’s extended vocal lines into tremblings of the fingers without losing the music’s fundamentally lyrical character, whether in the slowest and most expressive arias or in the wildest and most virtuosic ones.</p>
<hr>
<p>Créateur inépuisable, Haendel incarne l’âme de son siècle. Compositeur prolifique, il laisse une trace ineffaçable dans l’esprit de ses contemporains et devient, au fil des siècles, le symbole même des genres musicaux où son génie s’exerce. Lorsqu’il publie les Huit grandes suites pour le clavecin en 1720, il a déjà beaucoup voyagé et est alors capable d’écrire une suite où un Adagio d’inspiration italienne prend les couleurs de l’aube sur la Tamise, où une Courante à l’allure française est construite comme une solide cathédrale allemande.</p>
<p>Haendel chante et fait chanter le clavecin : dans les airs poignants et les adagios ornés à la Corelli, dans les danses à la française, dans les sévères fugues allemandes, dans les lessons purcelliennes où il sait faire revivre l’ineffable immédiateté anglaise. La suite logique de ce talent particulier, c’est que ses contemporains se sont mis à transcrire ses opéras pour le clavecin seul. Ainsi, le cher et fidèle ami et élève William Babell écrit des transcriptions des airs les plus connus du maître avec succès. Virtuose lui-même, il sait transformer les longues lignes vocales des airs handeliens en palpitations digitales sans qu’on ne perde le caractère fondamentalement lyrique de cette musique, dans les arias les plus lentes et expressives comme dans les plus endiablées et virtuoses.</p>
