Nathaniel is delighted to return to perform an intimate recital of works by Handel himself, complimented this time by music from one of his great admirers; Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. He first discovered Handel’s keyboard music at the weekly meetings chez Baron von Swieten in the 1780s in Vienna; the baron being an avid collector of ancient music and a loyal supporter of Mozart’s career. In a letter following a particularly inspiring Sunday session Mozart remarked of Handel that ‘…when he chooses, he strikes like a thunderbolt!’.

Nathaniel will perform a set of Handel’s fugues that Mozart was so keen to study along with his personal favourite Handel pieces and a suite Mozart wrote in the old style in homage to the great master.
