Title: One of Many Top Choices
Product review: There are a lot of good recordings of both Handel's Water Music and his Music for the Royal Fireworks lurking out there -- renditions by The English Concert, Tafelmusik and the venerable Collegium Aureum, among others. Oh, and vintage Marriner and Academy of St. Martin in the Fields for modern instrument versions. This disc easily joins that elite bunch with rousing and well-played performances of these Baroque musical icons. Suffice it to say the Water Music is played with exquisite smoothness while the Fireworks Music is loaded with punch and percussion. The coupling of the two and the Naxos price make this album almost impossible to beat. Highly recommended.
