Clarity. What I like about Jarrett's interpretations of classical music. You can listen to anytime, anyday. The pieces of the composers like Bach or Haendel don't need your ego. Expressing yourself thing is the lowest form of art and disgusting to these composers. It's ironic the player outside classical world knows the true nature of art.
No argument about Jarret's quality, but it's silly to assume that, one, he's isn't "expressing himself" here; two, that classical players don't know how to play with equal clarity and "without ego;" three, that the composers expected performers to NOT express themselves with these pieces (in fact, these Handel works in particular were likely written down to allow for a great deal of improvisation; something Handel, and Bach, were known for); and, finally, that the notion of playing these on a piano rather than the instrument they were written for (Harpsichord) isn't automatically some kind of "expression."
Wonderful wonderful performance. Perfection, truly!!
Love the tempo and clear articulation! Handel's keyboard pieces are so delightful! I love all of them!
So delightful! Perfect tempo and I agree with the commentator below, the best interpretation!

This is a beautiful recording and surprisingly, there are not a lot of piano recordings of Handel like it.
