5.0 out of 5 stars smooth interpretation, March 13, 2006
This review is from: Handel: Water Music (Audio CD)
I have Elliot Gardiner's version of this lovely music on period instruments. I saw used at my CD exchange a newer rendition of it by Tafelmisic and J. Lamon on period instruments. Having read glaring reviews of it, and having listened live to Tafelmusic, I was set to buy it. But they also had Mackerras' version, and I decided to compare the two. Frankly, I liked the St. Luke version even better. Maybe the fact that I already own a period instrument version was a factor. But Mackerras has a warm and sweet tone, clean textures due to small orchesra, and a smooth, low key interpretation while coming alive in individual virtuosity of selected instruments. It is well integrated and completely satisfying throughout. This version gives the best of both worlds, small orchestra of the period movement without the abrasive violin tones. As such, it should make a great alternative to period instrument versions. Strongly recommended.

Fantastic, crisp sound, and virtuosic playing, especially on the valveless horns. The best recording I've heard of Water Music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Handel's Water Music at its' best., December 23, 2011
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Handel: Water Music (Audio CD)
This music has survived the ages and is still as beautiful today as it was in the early 1700's. This rendition was done with period instruments. The French Horns are great.
