Particularly startling is the opening bitonal chord cluster of the A major Concerto, Op 7 No 2 Egarr acknowledges his debt to the 17th/18th-century writer Roger North for this daring harmonic gesture. The allegro movements are enlivened by rapid keyboard flourishes, liberal ornamentation (especially during repeats of whole sections) and delightful variants to the basic printed rhythms in the manner of French Baroque composers. The rich-sounding forces comprise 18 players, including oboes and bassoons both their playing and Egarr’s solo contributions are of an impeccably high order.Taking his cue from Charles Burney’s eyewitness accounts of Handel’s own performances, Egarr takes a bold, improvisatory approach to the concertos. 491 Bore 7 1/2 Diameter Bell Serviced.Academy of Ancient Music / Richard Egarr hpdRichard Egarr and the AAM have prepared their own performing edition of Handel’s Op 7 Organ Concertos, which has involved spontaneously creating ad libitum passages, or choosing other bits of Handel for the slow movements. 491 straight bore, and the outer slide is made of brass.You can listen to extracts from each of the recordings in our 'Handel: Great Recordings' playlist on Apple Music.Beginner: Type: Tenor: UPC: Does not apply: VINTAGE KING CLEVELAND 605 By KING.

Full marks to Egarr for his choice of the 1998 Handel House Museum organ for the concertos this modern British instrument is a copy of the type of chamber organ known to Handel. The recording is highly detailed – possibly a bit too close-up for some listeners. The opportunity to hear the splendid Chaconne in G, HWV442, is highly rewarding and, as Egarr points out, it uses the same bass-line and harmonic progression as the first eight bars of Bach’s Goldberg Variations.Egarr’s booklet-notes and a lovely collection of paintings featuring 18th-century London make for a booklet whose excellence matches that of the distinguished music-making. In the three works for solo harpsichord, Egarr’s calm, measured pacing allows Handel’s music to flow clearly and effortlessly.
All such moments come across with vitality and passion.The AAM has never committed Op 3 to disc before: under Egarr they sound as good as ever, perhaps even reinvigorated and a few degrees sparkier. Likewise, the immense personality of the solo organ runs during the finale of No 6 is a potently precocious display of Handel’s genius at the keyboard. It is hard to think of a lovelier moment in all of Handel’s orchestral works than the spellbinding cellos interweaving under a plaintive solo oboe in the Largo of No 2. Fresh speculation is a healthy opportunity to reconsider matters but the truly significant aspect of this recording is the new attention brought to Handel’s charming music. Sonata a cinque, HWV288Richard Egarr suggests that Handel might have had more of a hand in the compilation of Op 3 than hitherto identified.
This is no different to other ‘historically informed’ recordings of Op 6 and need not be considered an obstacle to enjoyment. It’s constituted on a smaller scale than Handel’s orchestra would have been, especially in its lower instruments also there are no bassoons or lute in the continuo group, and only one harpsichord instead of Handel’s usual two. The musicians are unanimously immersed in the intricacies of the music, but special mention must be made of violinist Pavlo Beznosiuk’s dazzling contribution to the dynamic finale of the ‘Sonata a cinque’ (a sort of violin concerto that Handel presumably composed for Corelli in Rome in about 1707).The Newcastle-based Avison Ensemble, under the experienced direction of violinist Pavlo Beznosiuk, ranks alongside the best for musicianship, taste and style. There are several fine recordings that find a little more warmth, sentimentality and intimacy in the music, although the energetic brilliance so prominent in the AAM’s crisply athletic playing has its own rewards.
No 11 has exuberance in its opening Andante larghetto, e staccato and its finale is thrillingly fleet-footed. However, in the Tenth Concerto, the introspective melancholy of the Lento and the sudden mood-swings of the penultimate Allegro are impressive. The concluding Gigue of No 9 is controlled and deliberate, where one might have hoped for swagger and panache. The gutsier forthright music is played crisply and sweetly.The music-making rarely veers towards becoming precious: phrases in the opening Largo of No 7 persistently taper off and diminish the lyrical pull of Handel’s writing, and, in the same concerto, the exclusion of harpsichord in favour of a barely audible organ seems odd considering the trouble Handel took over supplying detailed figured bass the reduced vivacity also stifles the wittiness of the concluding Hornpipe. Softly balanced cadences throughout the set are highly effective, and in fast music the interplay between concertino and ripienists is impeccable.
Concerti per due cori, HWV332-334The Italian ensemble Zefiro, directed by oboist Alfredo Bernardini, specialise in 18th-century music that gives prominence towards wind instruments. They are among the most engaging in the Water Music and especially, perhaps, the two little ‘country dances’, the boisterous character of which Pinnock captures nicely.Subscribing to Gramophone is easy, you can choose how you want to enjoy each new issue (our beautifully produced printed magazine or the digital edition, or both) and also whether you would like access to our complete digital archive (stretching back to our very first issue in April 1923) and unparalleled Reviews Database, covering 50,000 albums and written by leading experts in their field.To find the perfect subscription for you, simply visit: gramophone.co.uk/subscribeMusic for the Royal Fireworks. In this suite the ceremonial atmosphere comes over particularly well, with resonant brass-playing complemented by crisply articulated oboes.The G major pieces are quite different from those in the previous groups, being lighter in texture and more closely dance-orientated. Archiv has achieved a particularly satisfying sound in which all strands of the orchestral texture can be heard with clarity. That gets things off to a fine start but what follows is no less compelling, with some notably fine woodwind-playing.In the D major music it’s the brass department that steals the show and here, horns and trumpets acquit themselves with distinction. They are sparkling, tempi are well judged and there’s a truly majestic sweep to the opening F major French overture.
Theis zesty and fluid performance is a welcome change from stodgy readings in which everything is hammered home mercilessly. ‘La Réjouissance’ trips along lightly without a hint of clumsiness, but still has ample juicy magnificence. Zefiro play the grand Overture with the perfect synthesis of splendour and dance-like charisma (too many versions possess too little of the latter).
