Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

What world emerges from Handel's Keyboard Suites when they are liberated from the reassuring distance of historicism?Through the extraordinary interpretations of Sviatoslav Richter and Andrei Gavrilov, this book undertakes an original aesthetological investigation into a musical universe of memory, loss, repetition, destruction, everyday life, and inexhaustible vital energy.Phenomenology, synesthesia, and psychoanalytic listening become instruments for mapping Handel's aesthetic regions: not a historical reconstruction, but an immersion in the lived experience of sound.Between the celestial architecture of Bach and Handel's profoundly earthly universe, the Suites reveal a city inhabited by drama, nostalgia, machinery, sleep, mourning, irony, and the perpetual return of life.Here, the Author applies his method of investigation, based on the Husserlian phenomenology of the observation of the phenomenon, integrated and validated by the psychoanalytic psychotherapeutic method of listening to his own lived experience.Roberto Barreca is a musician, philosopher, psychologist, and psychoanalyst.
