This review is from: Grace Notes (Audio CD)

This is not just one more baroque potpurie. The hart of this CD however, is the organ in various pieces and arrangements. It is fresh in Haendl's Royal Fireworks, authoritative in Haydn's Deutschland Hymn and true in Beethoven's Ode to Joy. On the other hand a group of Anthony's solo master performances are breathtaking, but the most impressive is Julianne Baird and her fortepiano accompany. After two measure intro to aria of Gluck's Orfeo ed Euridice I am plunged in to a depth of emotions. That's fine singing and accompany that I couldn't find even in the best Orfeo ed Euridice, one of the Jean Claude Malgoire and James Bowman interpretation.
This CD is awesome throughout. I definitely have a crush on it. Highly recommended.
