Erin Helyard performs Handel's Harpsichord Suite No. 5 in E - 'The Harmonious Blacksmith

[@fhhubbard]

Best version I have EVER heard!

[@johndeighan2495]

Love the unapologetic vivacity and mischief of this performance! I feel Mr Handel would very much approve.

[@Lukasz.Warzecha]

Great performance! The embellishments add an individual character and make the interpretation truly original.

[@leidenhelma5579]

[@johnswimcat]

I like this

[@andrewh273]

Lovely stuff. Colin Tilney's version on Spotify makes a fascinating contrast to this more brisk interpretation.

[@aspdenmark]

Hi. I wanted to buy your album, but half the services you link to are down.

Nice to hear an authentic English harpsichord with pedal to engage the octave (4- foot) register.

[@herobrine1847]

Harpsichord has dynamica

[@jonathanwyble4227]

The improvisational embellishments are most agreeable.

[@dhoulkarnain]

Most agréable indeed.

Off to the races-trying to approach the speed of light??

[@morespaceclo]

Hofft nd, dass hier die Lösungen sind

[@tecnomusicevo]

with all that beauty of execution I was expecting a CRAZY cadence, instead a very simple thing. I don't know the final cadence disappointed me. Excellent execution for the rest, the best on the web.

If a thousand people listen to rubbish - it is still rubbish. This is SUBLIME !

[@yvonnelenders5986]

Indeed!

[@alainspiteri502]

for you

[@alainspiteri502]

calamity exists it's here

[@williammanoogian8572]

Allegro brillante ma troppo!

[@valleyrangergaming]

Now play peter Griffin

[@dhoulkarnain]

Yes.

[@ScruffyTubbles]

And the third. Good speed to play at to show-off but not for the audience to enjoy.

[@ScruffyTubbles]

The second movement is far far too fast.

[@madbrainDotCom]

I think it's fine. I played it a little faster in my version, actually, but wish I could play 1/2 as well as in this recording.
