5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Outstanding
This recording is superb. It exceeds all others I have encountered in its excellence of conducting, musicianship, and recording quality. I'm very impressed with its sensitivity toward Handel's works, both by the conductor and the musicians.

3.0 out of 5 stars Recording quality not up to par
Unfortunately, I also own the Philips version of Handel's Water Music performed by Marriner/ASMF. The sound quality from Philips is far superior. All the details and crisp highs are missing in this recording from Hanssler. I'd give it 4.5 stars for the music and interpretation. But for sound quality, I only give it 3.

This review is from: Handel: Feuerwerksmusik; Wassermusik (Audio CD)
This recording is superb. It exceeds all others I have encountered in its excellence of conducting, musicianship, and recording quality. I'm very impressed with its sensitivity toward Handel's works, both by the conductor and the musicians. The slightly unusual ornamentation of the works is intriguing, and occasionally caused me to turn my head and say, "Oh, really? I hadn't thought of that!" Occasionally the instrumentation is unusual as well, as in the staggering of the trumpets in an early segment, and the result is thoroughly enjoyable.

Let us enjoy Handel's works as if they were new. This recording will give you relief from the tired, jaded performances of Handel as "standard repertoire." You will be in for a very big treat.
