Handel - Water Music Suites [Gardiner-English Baroque Soloists]
For some reason Handel is really not on my radar as such, i don't find him a 'great' Composer, rather a good one, i admit his Concerto Grosso 6-Op6 is a marvel, but on the other end of the scale i hate the Messiah, his Water Music suites are maybe somewhere inbetween, certainly more towards liking them, but i still find them a hodge podge of individual pieces that don't really gel together, but then there are in fact singular moments of genius, but ultimately Handel isn't in the same league as Bach or Vivaldi.
Surprisingly this is the first time i've mentioned Handel in my Blog, and it's 273 days into the year!, it just goes to show how much he isn't in my life.
John Eliot Gardiner gives us the three Suites on this disc, but not in order 1, 2, 3, but rather 1, 3, 2, plus a couple
