I've had several copies from different conductors/orchestras. I thought I had listened to the best until I bought this...

I totally agree with the previous reviewer. Pommer is a consitently fine Baroque conductor and all of his releases on LaserLight are well-worth acquiring.

5.0 out of 5 stars Totally worth it!, December 22, 2011

This is my favorite version of the Four Seasons. I have several, but this one really seems to capture the emotion of the performance in a way that others do not. I don't have anything technical to add. This is the one I choose to listen to strictly for enjoyment.
