Handel edition brilliant classics

No problems for return visits here but, to my mind, the recorder sonatas stand out in this section. Erik Bosgraaf is a dynamic and assertive player with a creative line in ornamentation, and matched in these attributes by Francesco Corti at the harpsichord.

Finally, a small selection of vocal works. On the other hand, if you are enamoured of the counter-tenor style of the Dellers, you might see them as indispensable. Perhaps Handel was particularly motivated by the fact that George II personally led his troops into battle to write this brilliant work; perhaps not the most subtle of his achievements but nevertheless an impressive listen in the right hands.

The English Concert under Trevor Pinnock solves all these problems in their fine recording. The language problem recurs in the Utrechter Te Deum and Friedensode , aka Ode for the Birthday of Queen Anne, though this German version is musically far better than the English one mentioned above. It has a good team of soloists. So, a mixed bag indeed. There is plenty here to more than make up for the absence of opera but the value of this set depends to a large extent on your familiarity with the repertoire and your performance-related sympathies.

For me, the discoveries made it worthwhile and I expect to be dipping into this set for a long time to come. A mixed bag with the potential for agreeable surprises. Donate and keep us afloat.
