Review title: TOO "business-like"
Product review: Obviously, original instruments is the only way to go when it comes to baroque music, and compared to the recordings of, say, Gardiner and Harnoncourt, this one is stodgy and, as Mr. Libbey put it, "business-like." As usual, Pinnock and the English Concert produce a nice sound, but the tempos are too slow (for a period performance recording) and the reading just plain dull. The Harnoncourt recording, on the other hand, may be a little too mannered and fast at times, but Gardiner finds a good middle ground.
