5.0 out of 5 stars Another great Baroque compilation disc!, February 14, 2002

By	bardakjy (Orlando, FL) - See all my reviews

This disc could aptly be described as a Baroque 'Greatest Hit's' release. Roy Goodman leads his Brandenburg Consort through some of the best-known Baroque pieces with grace and skill. The Hyperion label specializes in Baroque music, and this disc pretty much includes the best-known works from the period's most recognizable composers. There are a number of Baroque compilation discs out there, so the competition is stiff. Still, this 1992 release is DDD and offers 24 selections by 17 composers. It provides a comprehensive overview of Baroque music, and each piece has been expertly played and recorded. I can't think of a better and more affordable introduction to Baroque music.
