Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of classical chamber music with Hamilton Harty's "Harty: A John Field Suite." Released on February 1, 1983, under the prestigious Chandos label, this album is a captivating journey through the works of the renowned Irish composer and pianist John Field. Spanning a concise yet engaging 50 minutes, the album features a suite dedicated to Field's compositions, including the evocative "Remembrance" and the lively "Midi" Rondo.
Harty's interpretation brings a unique charm to these pieces, showcasing his deep understanding and admiration for Field's music. The album also includes selections from George Frideric Handel's iconic "Water Music," specifically from Suite No. 1 in F Major and Suite No. 2 in D Major. These pieces are performed with the same level of skill and sensitivity that Harty brings to Field's works, offering a delightful contrast and variety.
The tracklist is a blend of slow, reflective pieces like the "Nocturne" and "Slow Waltz," and more upbeat, lively numbers such as the "Polka" and "Hornpipe." This variety ensures that the album is both soothing and invigorating, making it a perfect choice for any classical music enthusiast. Whether you're a long-time fan of Harty or new to his work, this album is a wonderful addition to your collection.
