GEORGE FRIDERIC HANDEL

“Musical Moments” can be moments of memories or reflection, a retrospect of the past or an anticipation of the future, that are enriched by hearing or thinking of a special piece of music in that same moment.

In this sixth Musical Moment we release Mahan Esfahani’s performance of Handel’s Chaconne in G Major HWV 435. The Chaconne in G Major, originally published as ‘Suite No 2’ in 1733, consists of 21 variations, each spanning only eight measures long.

Further artists in the Musical Moments series include Daniel Barenboim, Yuja Wang, Nadine Sierra, Avi Avital and Albrecht Mayer just to name a few.
