Händelfestspiele in Göttingen to welcome prominent guest Andreas Staier

Andreas Staier will be performing at the Göttinger Händelfestspiele, one of the most renowned baroque music events in the world, in his native city on 14^th May and will enrich this year’s festival with his astutely selected and expressive programme. In 1710, Handel emigrated to England where he revolutionised the style of English music and quickly rose to widespread fame in the Baroque world. Andreas Staier presents him in the context of his English predecessors Byrd, Bull and Purcell circling back to Germany with Bach in depicting Handel’s genius and avant-garde status in his time. Andreas Staier’s familiarity with the musical language of the Baroque is unparalleled. His interpretations exude both authenticity and musical intuition. His fascinating and inspiring playing will take his audience back the Baroque era.
