Jean Kleeb places Handel’s work in an intercultural dialogue, inspired by musical styles from around the world. His piano arrangements unfold a musical journey filled with rhythm, imagination and stylistic diversity: from classical and romantic music through jazz, ragtime, Caribbean, tango, salsa, samba, bossa nova, Balkan music, African and oriental sounds, all the way to minimal music and pop. For example, the famous “Hallelujah” chorus resounds in a reggae version while the “Sarabande” appears in a jazzy light. The pieces encourage a creative and playful approach to Handel’s motifs and are equally suitable for concerts and teaching.
