Fresh, clear, colourful and stylish,

This review is from: William Boyce: Eight Symphonies, Op. 2 (Audio CD)
This recording is excellent and the Aradia Ensemble just seems to get better and better with every recording. This recording presents us with eight symphonies by William Boyce. These works have a very agreeable late Baroque flavour to them.
Boyce was not quite in the same league as Handel, Haydn or Rameau, but his music is, nonetheless, very beguiling and attractive. A solo for the flute in the first symphony could have almost been written by Rameau. The Aradia Ensemble plays Boyce's works with great ease and skill. I have listened to this CD many times since I bought it two weeks ago. It makes for very enjoyable listening. _______________________________________________________________ Could Amazon do something about the lousy mongrel who keeps marking my reviews as unhelpful even when I write positive and enthusiastic reviews? I am finding the actions of this turkey very tedious and stupid.

William Boyce is a comparatively unknown composer, but one who merits greater recognition. He combines a wide ranging capability for orchestration, for innovative rhythms and for delightful melodies. Overshadowed by Bach, a youngerr contemporary, Boyce is a worthwhile addition to any serious collection

I like music from the baroque and early classical periods but hadn't heard much by William Boyce so I got this CD. It's pretty darn good.
