:/ Is there a Celeste being used?

@YoungOrganist With 117 ranks to choose from, I'm sure she has a Celeste on somewhere in there :)

I think i haven't ever seen her hands move so slowely and tenderly. Really intense interpretation. It's good to see and hear her play a slow piece once in a while :-)

Although it´s from comic opera I have heard this composition at funerals e.g.of my aunt

It's pronounced Zerzes, not Exerxes

@DeDeutschmann

stimmt, sehe ich genau so, aber klingen tut es trotzdem geil, oder etwa nicht?

[achwasbinichmuede]

Händel, einfach nur Geil, das sind eben echte Deutsche Komponisten.
