Handel: Complete Organ Concertos

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

& 8220;

There are many recordings of Handel's Organ Concertos in the catalogue but this set, originally recorded in 1982/1983 is, in my view, one of the best. The music is impeccably played by the English Concert with Trevor Pinnock producing spirited performances which, in the Allegro movements, skip with infectious rhythm. Well recorded, in ideal acoustics which demonstrate Simon Preston's dexterity on the organ to perfection. Splendid baroque music.
