Description:

[Panorama Series: Semi-New Pressings / Encore Pressings] "Panorama" is a series for beginners of classical music that compiles masterpieces of classical music by composer in two-disc sets using Deutsche Grammophon and Decca sound sources. With the exception of a few operas and other works, there are no fade-outs or movement excerpts, and the series is based on the recording of all the movements of a single work. The performances are all masterpieces that can be recommended with confidence. This is an encore pressing of 40 carefully selected titles. This is an album of 10 orchestral and concerto masterpieces by Handel, the greatest composer of the Baroque period along with the great Bach, performed on original instruments by Pinnock and English Concert. Music on the Water" is performed in Krzander's version. Pinnock recently re-recorded "Music for the Royal Fireworks" in a "premiere version," but this recording is based on the "re-performance" of the first recording. These performances, full of youthful exuberance and full of excitement, are truly Pinnock's sole domain. [Performed by] Ursula Holliger (harp) (4), English Concert/Conductor & Harpsichord: Trevor Pinnock Recorded: April 1983 (1, 4), August 1984 (2, 3), February 1982 (5), London
