4.0 out of 5 stars Handel op 6 5 May 2009
By r.b.
Format:Audio CD
Everybody who loves Baroque and Classical music in general knows how good Handel's magnificent op6 are.Composed in 1739 this masterpiece is the equal of anything by Bach or any other composer for that matter.The Academy of Ancient Music,directed from the violin by Andrew Manze,produce technically impeccable performances with fantastic concertino playing.The playing is of such a high standard that it's almost unbelievable at times.
I have gave 4 stars instead of 5 because there is also a driven rather high octane feel about it which,although exhilarating,is a little too much sometimes - the opening allegro of concerto 1 is a prime example.
Nevertheless this is certainly one of the best period recording's of op6.
If however you prefer a less driven but still lively account on authentic instruments then i recommend Christopher Hogwood's Decca release with the Handel and Haydn Society.Both the Hogwood and Manze recording's adhere to Handel's original scoring for string orchestra and omit the oboe parts sometimes heard in 4 of the concertos,which were an afterthought by Handel.

New notes added 30/11/12- My favourite recording of Handel's op 6 is now by Arte dei Suonatori,see review.

5.0 out of 5 stars tour de force 12 Feb 2011
By John Davison
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is Handel as he has not been heard before. Andrew Manze brings a sense of mystery, an ear for the beautiful counter-melodies hidden within the texture, and a new lightness of touch which makes the heart soar.

The Hornpipe from the Bb concerto is a miracle of the dance. It is worth buying the set for this alone.

If I have one quibble it is that the heart-rendingly beautiful Musette is taken too fast. This is a transcendent moment in music and we need time to sink deep into it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Handel 20 Feb 2009
By Sid Nuncius HALL OF FAME TOP 10 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD
This is an excellent performance of these great works. Handel's Op.6 set are often thought to stand with the Brandenburg Concertos as the pinnacle of the Baroque Concerto Grosso, and it's certainly a defensible point of view. They are truly outstanding works, full of richness, imagination and sheer pleasure for the listener. There are many great interpretations already on disc, and this stands with the best of them in my view.

Manze and the Academy of Ancient Music bring a bright, fresh approach and put a spring in the step of the concertos, without losing any of the great sense of structure and solidity which is central to these works. This may not be to everyone's taste, but I love it - the music dances and glows with sheer delight in places and retains the right degree of weight and solemnity in others. It's an absolutely cracking set, and I recommend it wholeheartedly whether you're looking for a single recording of the Op.6 concertos to last you a lifetime, and even if you already have one or more that you love. You will find plenty of freshness and new insight here.
