Music reviews of The Best of Handel
Music Review: It is just that good!!
Rating: 5 Stars
I have owned this recording for some time now. In fact, it was probably responsible for cultivating in me the understanding and appreciation I now have for Handel's music. It is a brilliant way to become familiar with his style, and because Handel's style is so easy to listen to anyway, it is also an great introduction to baroque music appreciation in general.
Handel is for me the undoubted master of music, and with this recording, Naxos has given a collection of superb performances that do great justice to this impressive body of work. The "Overture to the Music for the Royal Fireworks" featured on this album, is the best I have ever heard, particularly the first section, which I believe has no rival.
I give this album five stars out of five, by sheer virtue of the fact that it just that good!!
