Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Trevor Pinnock recently recorded Handel's Fireworks Music in its original version for lots and lots of winds and percussion, but there's good reason to prefer this performance of Handel's alternate version, which includes string parts. Pinnock has always had a keen ear for Handelian pomp, and this version has just that extra bit of sparkle and brilliance. The coupled overtures make a welcome bonus. --David Hurwitz

Superb 'Program' Music.......2007-07-15
Before listening to this recording, I was drafting a review which began with the invariably less interesting aspects of music written for a specific purpose, such as, for example the 1812 Overture, most marches, and opening themes to Olympic contests. But then I listened to this piece and threw that very general hypothesis out the window, as Handel simply gets the job done in writing celebratory music which has endured. I also happened to think that this dumb premise would devalue virtually all of my favorite musical genres, that written for liturgical purposes. So here we are, a German musical celebration of an English event. It works!
Unforgettable performance !.......2004-10-29
The peak of this CD is the colossal recording of the Royal Fireworks . Majesty with fierceness ; frehness and virility ; passion and intellect ; sublime and expressive ; lyricism and honesty are some of the adjectives which deserves this artistic triumph of Mr. Trevor Pinnock.
The Pinnock-le of English Baroque.......2002-09-20
There's no doubt in my mind: Trevor Pinnock is the world's greatest interpreter of baroque music, period. Here, he is at his very finest, in the more enjoyable version of Royal Fireworks ( with strings, that is ), as well as in the concerto grosso and overtures on this album. In fact, not only is the instrumentation easier to listen to than the original wind-only, but Pinnock plays much more charmingly on this recording than on his wind-only version. The amazon.com reviewer has in bang-on when he says that this one has more sparkle. One can hear in the very first bars, as the shorter intervals are played more quickly on this recording, as opposed to the dragging articulation you get in the other recording. This is a must for Handel fans.
A Rousing Performance.......2002-01-26
Trevor Pinnock again demonstrates that he is the leading interpreter of Baroque music. This performance of "Music for the Royal Fireworks" is easily the most powerful and exciting available. I have heard other recordings which in comparison sound like music for the royal naptime. If you have not heard this version, you have not really heard the piece.
