4.0 out of 5 stars Not simply lovely, June 29, 2006

This CD is a lot of fun. The recorder playing by René Clemencic is fantastic. I would have given it five stars, except that Clemencic adds more ornamentation than I like. He is a true virtuoso and is not afraid to add mordents, etc., whenever he likes. Purists may cringe at what he adds but we must remember that there is a long standing tradition that encourages such ornamentation. As a recorder player myself who has struggled with Handel's sonatas, I marvel at René Clemencic's skill. Wow!

Lastly, although this is a re-issue, the sound of the CD is fine. The packaging is a bit cheap but for the price the music is still a bargain. Enjoy!!

I have attempted to purchase this album twice. Both times I have received a defective Disc which does not play appropriately but instead produces a very disturbing distorted electronic sound with each track. Can I really have such bad luck? Or is the entire batch of discs for the reissue of this album compromised? I would like to hear it but I give up now.
