This is a good recording using old style instruments. It does sound different to modern interpretations, faster. One review mentioned that some insruments seem out of tune, that is how old style instuments do sound, recommended.

I bought these CDs as they had the highest recommendation in the Classical Good CD Guide 2007. The sound is fresh, vibrant and the clarity and texture are amazing.
Rinaldo Alessandrini has done a great job of revitalising these well known pieces, as if he had removed layers of varnish from an Old Master.
As well as the 2 CDs there is also a DVD showing the recording process and interviewing Rinaldo.
Highly recommended.

..odd. I still haven't quite got my head around it yet. My recommendation could warm up to four stars with time, but never five. The standard of playing is good, even outstanding, but the tempi are strange, insofar that they change a lot, giving the music an odd ebb and flow, which I don't particularly like. Sometimes it's far, far too fast, as per the final movement of No.3, where it's so fast that the players can't articulate some of the passages properly.
I usually end up back with the old all-star (Michala Petri, Heinz Holliger, Jean-Pierre Rampal, etc.) Philips recording with Nev and the ASMF - the fact that they use modern instruments is irrelvant for me.

Avoiding the pitfalls
I have listen to many recordings of these concerts. Some are too "bombastic" and some are just making a thing of playing as fast as possible. Read more

Great... but out of tune at times
Excellent version, but my enjoyment was marred by the fact that the horns in no.1 (at the very start!) and the trumpet in no.2 are out of tune. Read more
