The Orpheus Chamber Orchestra's acclaimed recordings of Handel set the standards in the 1990s for performances of his work on modern instruments.
Previously on a total of four CDs, the Concerti grossi op. 6, "Fireworks" and "Water Music" have now been fitted onto three CDs lasting over 228 minutes, a real bargain!
The fresh and exhilarating performances are bursting with energy, and you get the feeling you are listening to this marvellous music for the very first time.Orpheus have a real feeling for the flow and the grandeur of Handel's music. As the Gramophone put it in 1996: "the character of these concertos is so appealingly caught that I am more than happy to recommend it to anyone who loves these works, and perhaps still more so to anyone unfortunate enough not to know them."
"It is a great joy to hear modern instrumentalists approach baroque music in such an enlightened way."
Gramophone, 11/1992 reviewing Opus 6"
"The conductorless Orpheus Chamber Orchestra are little short of superlative in polished and alive performances that sweep the board ... The recording is in the demonstration bracket."
The Penguin Guide to Compact Discs, 2001 reviewing "Fireworks" and "Water Music"
