The concert is a journey through the diversity of Baroque music styles and forms. The programme includes works by great masters of the 17th and 18th centuries, ranging from virtuoso variations and dance suites to chamber music fantasies and delicate miniatures. You will hear both well-known and rarely performed compositions by Handel, Purcell, Telemann, Lully, Couperin, Rameau and other great masters, revealing the beauty and expressiveness of Baroque piano interpretation.
Handel comes from Halle, and his work is the voice of all Europe. He has Italian drama, French refinement, German love for formal harmony and English sense of proportion in himself. I would like to invite you on a journey through exactly those cultural landscapes that shaped the great European Handel with a German heart – we begin with him, and return to him at the end. A musical journey through Europe.

Bio
“Music is the deepest expression of my soul” says Munich-based pianist Tanja Huppert who sees her most important task in re-feeling the composer’s inner world - when writing their music - and conveying it to the listener.
Her concern is to bring this music to the stage as a wonderfully beneficial force that enriches our lives and brings out the good in them.
Kirill Petrenko, chief conductor of Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, described her interpretation of Johann
Sebastian Bach’s Goldberg Variations BWV 988 as “subtle” and “played with great musicality, creativity
high technical ability”. Her recordings produced by Bayerischer Rundfunk (Public Bavarian Radio), among
others with the Bamberg Symphonic Orchestra, are regularly broadcast on the radio, e.g. on BR-Klassik.
Her 2021 recording of Johann Sebastian Bach’s Goldberg Variations BWV 988 was set by Spotify on rank 2
in their editorial playlist “Classical New Releases” on Christmas 21 as well as her recording of
Domenico Scarlatti’s Keyboard Sonata in C-Sharp Minor, K 247 in their edition of 18th February 22.
