Music reviews of Essential Baroque
Music Review: The best performers with the best performances with even a few surprises!
Rating: 5 Stars
This collection contains just about every major well known Baroque piece ever used for a wedding,graduation or ultimate Baroque 'starter kit'.Vocalists such as the Welsh Baritone Bryn Terfel,the late great Pavarotti,the world's foremost oboist of the '70 and '80is Heinz Holliger and Orchestras such as Saint Martin-in-the-Fields and I Musici are assembled with defining renditions of these great favorites.There are two tracks of particular interest that is of great delight:the little recorded "Le Coucou" by Jean Daquin as performed by harpsichord virtuoso Trevor Pinnock.Pinnock wisely has chosen a "stopped" sound for his performance instead of full sound and it is a delight to the ears;another unusual delight was to hear the choral "Zadok the Priest" from Handel's "Coronation Anthems", a most majestic rendering from The Westminster Abbey Choir and The English Consort under the baton of Simon Preston.This 2 disc collection is hard to beat for the price.It has vocal,instrumental,orchestral,chamber,solo,allegro and largo,German,Italian,French and Polish to present an outstanding overview of the Baroque Era.Highly recommended.
