Our Take

In his latest release, "Handeleight Great Suites," Danny Driver takes on Handel's iconic suites with a unique twist that is sure to leave you both captivated and slightly confused.

From the opening track, Driver's keyboard skills are on full display, effortlessly gliding through Handel's intricate compositions with a masterful touch. However, it's Driver's unconventional approach that truly sets this album apart. Mixing classical precision with a touch of modern flair, Driver adds unexpected twists and turns that keep listeners on their toes.

Tracks like "Suite No. 3 in D minor" showcase Driver's ability to play with tempo and dynamics, creating a sense of urgency and excitement that is both exhilarating and slightly disorienting. It's as if Handel himself has been transported to the 21st century and given a dose of caffeine.

But it's not all high-energy madness. The album also features moments of quiet beauty, with tracks like "Suite No. 5 in E major" allowing Driver to showcase his delicate touch and sensitive interpretation. It's a reminder that classical music doesn't always have to be bombastic – sometimes, it's the quiet moments that speak the loudest.

Overall, "Handeleight Great Suites" is a wild ride through the world of classical music, with Danny Driver at the helm steering us through uncharted waters. So buckle up, sit back, and prepare to have your musical expectations shattered. This album is not for the faint of heart, but for those willing to take a chance, it's a journey you won't soon forget.
