Handel: Complete Orchestral Works [Box set]
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Like Bach, Handel was primarily a composer of vocal music, making his instrumental works something rare and special. The two composers' talents complemented each other rather well, in fact. Bach's concertos took Vivaldi as his model, while Handel emulated his friend Corelli. Bach composed his keyboard concertos for harpsichord, while Handel preferred the organ. Bach wrote only four orchestral works--the orchestral suites--that were not concertos, while Handel created only the Water and Fireworks music. Between the two composers, you have as fine a survey of baroque orchestral music as it's possible to get. Buy this inexpensive set and you're halfway there. --David Hurwitz

Son Steven and mother Carol Honigberg have an artistic collaboration on thoroughly equal terms. Neither instrument dominates in these performances; instead they play with proper balance and shared musical impulse. The cruel realities of the marketplace offer us this very well-recorded disc by less than famous performers at the same price as the two-disc set of all of Beethoven's cello works by Rostropovich/Richter (Sonatas) and Gendron/Françaix (Variations), making it difficult to recommend as a first choice. But anyone who hears this disc is likely to be quite pleased with it. --Leslie GerberCustomer Reviews:
