1.Bach - Sacred Arias & Cantatas by: English Concert August 25, 2008

This is a long-awaited Bach disc from David Daniels. We are more accustomed to having him sing heroic Handel operatic roles, branch out into American folk songs, or even into Berlioz, but somehow it was inevitable that he would end up recording the Bach arias he has often sung in concert performances of the Passions, the B Minor Mass or Cantatas. And what a disc it has turned out to be. I had never heard him sing Bach before so this disc was a revelation to me. Andreas Scholl has received notable and deserved praise for the purity of his tone and somewhat restrained [Church] interpretation of Bach cantatas for alto, but Daniels' performances here are a different animal, as you would expect from an experienced operatic singer. But these are not ... Read More:

2.The World's Greatest Mozart Album from: Decca May 08, 2000

Putting a title like `Worlds Greatest' on the front of a CD is obviously a bold claim, and one which many people have become so familiar with that they tend to take it with a pinch of salt. There are so many ways of trying to catch the buyers interest that very few titles like these really jump out at the buyer. This one did jump out at me, though not so much for the choice of tracks, more for the quality of artists who perform them. Considering this is only a 2CD set, far too short for any Mozart compilation, the list of performers reads like a roll call for the best `Last Night of the Proms' ever staged. A simple list of some of the orchestras, conductors, singers and soloists sums up this gem of an album: Read More:

3.The Essential Classics Collection by: Myung-Whun Chung Géza Anda Rudolf Baumgartner Trevor Pinnock Karl Böhm Eugen Jochum Ferdinand Leitner Ferenc Fricsay Neeme Järvi Claudio Abbado July 03, 2000

I bought this as a gift for my niece, since I wanted her to be educated about classical music as she was on her way to college. Ended up buying two copies as I found I loved it so much. Normally I like to pick and choose my orchestras, composers, and conductors, but this collection has jujst about everything. Also, I'd never bought some of the more "popular" items (Strauss and Grieg) as I'd heard them a million times, but now I have them and the performances are all great. This truly has a smattering of it all, and if you're not a classical music lover, it's bound to turn you on to the stuff.

You have to have the volume up above 1/2 way to get the full benefit of the solos. That said, it is a wonderful masterpiece, performed beautifully - the sort of CD that it will take a long time to get bored with! It comes with the words, so you can sing along - but like me, you probably already know them! I am especially pleased that I decided to buy this CD.

5.Bach: Brandenburg Concertos; Orchestral Suites /Pinnock from: Archiv Produktion July 13, 1988

Since the steady resurgence in popularity of Bach's music there has become an increasing number of Brandenburg Concerto recordings to chose from. Just like the numerous versions of Beethoven symphonies, there are now an abundance of these popular Bach works on CD, which on the one hand gives a variety of interpretations to listen to, but on the other causes confusion when deciding which to choose. These recordings from 1978/1979 (orchestral suites) and 1982 (Brandenburg's) have been available previously on vinyl (the suites) and since 1988 on CD (Brandenburg's). Of the many recordings now available, these remain one of my favourites. The musicianship of The English Concert, Trevor Pinnock (harpsichord) and Simon Standage ... Read More:

I've owned sets of these concertos for 30 years, and this one for about 10. They are a constant and unfailing delight, and Simon Preston's performance is very very good.

8.Haydn: Missa in Angustiis 'Nelson Mass'; Te Deum /Pinnock by: The English Concert Trevor Pinnock Felicity Lott Carolyn Watkinson Maldwyn Davies David Wilson-Johnson The English Concert Choir Nicholas Parle December 02, 1987
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £15.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £8.98 You Save: £7.01 (44%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £6.99
This was my first recording of the Nelson Mass, and it has a peculiarly English grace to it, typical of Trevor Pinnock. I love it absolutely, and even now I am still torn between this and the new Sir John Eliot Gardiner recording. As lovely as Richard Hickox's version is, it lacks that male-alto tone to bring through that particular line, most obvious at the third part of the Creed with their top D 'NON!' - a very favourite moment. Pinnock's recording is full of class, grace, excitement and is beautifully performed. The production quality again is excellent as one would expect from Archiv.

9.Haydn: The 'Sturm und Drang' Symphonies /Pinnock by: Trevor Pinnock, English Concert October 16, 2000

These performances have recently been criticised in some quarters for lacking in charm. I couldn't disagree more. I have heard many versions of these symphonies and Pinnock's are far and away the best. They are truly envigorating, sparkling and very attractive sounding. But they are in no way "driven" and to me they lack nothing. The supposedly more charming versions sound ponderous beside these and everyone I have played these records to - including many who would not think to explore "Haydn before the London Symphonies" - have fallen in love with them. And now, they are available at a price that is a real bargain. Buy this set!

This is a must for all Handel lovers. The anthems are beautifully done.The tempi is just right. Moved to tears. The Concerti a due cori is the reason I bought this CD. I heard them at the London Promenade concerts and the are a delight. The interaction of the oboes is magical. Fantastic and worthy of five stars. A must buy. You will not be disappointed.
