专辑简介
专辑收录由德国钢琴家马汀．史岱费尔德（Martin Stadtfeld）亲自改编并演奏的亨德尔作品，包括选自歌剧《林纳多》、《凯萨大帝》、《塞尔西》、《所罗门》之咏叹调，以及《E大调组曲》（HWV 430）与《D小调》组曲（HWV 437）。
自首张专辑 – 巴赫「哥德堡变奏曲」发行以来，接连发行的数张专辑均攻占德国古典音乐的排行榜，史岱费尔德无疑是当今德国乐界最成功的钢琴家之一。不仅以巴赫作品获得肯定，其莫扎特、舒伯特、门德尔颂与贝多芬作品录音均获得媒体的大力赞扬。
专辑中所选录并改编的亨德尔作品都是史岱费尔德个人的最爱，其中著名的乐曲包括：让我哭泣（Lascia ch\’io pianga）、怀念的树荫（Ombra mai fù）、假如你没有感觉到怜悯我（Se pietà di me non senti）、太阳会忘记闪耀光芒吗？（Will the sun forget to streak）、无论你走到哪（Wher\’er you walk）、我会为自己的命运哀悼（Piangerò la sorte mia），以及著名的《萨拉邦德》舞曲与《快乐的铁匠》。
史岱费尔德表示：「我必须承认，亨德尔的整部歌剧或清唱剧我大多难以听完。尽管如此，我深信这些『摘录』的咏叹调，可以在没有原始故事背景下，依旧发挥其效果与光彩。或许，尤其是在钢琴上，基本上它是一种适合抽象表达的乐器。」
