Handel: Belshazzar

Search: Fly
by: Trevor Pinnock, The English Concert, James Bowman

Release Date June 07, 2004
The singing is good, but perhaps a little underpowered & Pinnock's
conducting is stylish & lively. There is an excellent note by Anthony
Hicks,& a synopsis but no text. The great scene in the work is the one
where the writing appears on the wall. Alas, there is an unnecessary
disc change in the middle of it, completely destroying the flow.

Jersey Beat: the Music of Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons (3CD+DVD)

Search: Fly
by: Frankie Valli

Release Date June 25, 2007
The three CDs are filled with superb remastered and totally authentic recordings that span the incredible career of Frankie Valli and The four Seasons. The quality is superb, the versions presented here are the originals, in stereo or mono as is appropriate. The DVD is wonderful - classic live performances of the group at its peak. Of especial note are the 1971 TOTP recordings of Let's Hang On and I've Got You Under My Skin, both live, very well recorded and very true to the 1971 stage sound. Frankie's voice is at its best and this has to be heard loud to get the full dramatic impact. Thoroughly recommended.

The Best of Handel

Search: Fly
from: Duo

Release Date March 11, 1996

The Philips Classics DUO range of double CDs is generally available at a mid price and usually offers good recordings, although not necessarily recent ones, by recognised performers.

This Best Of Handel release from 1996 has stood its ground for many years while facing competition from many others, some of which may be bigger and better while others are less than satisfactory.

As an introduction to Handel this is a good choice, for it includes a few complete works - such as the Music for the Royal Fireworks, chamber orchestra concertos and a concerto grosso - while other works such as the Water Music, are slightly shortened to give the highlights plus a bit more.

Some of the operas and oratorios ... Read More:
