5.0 out of 5 stars Fireworks it certainly is 14 Mar 2004
By Marc020
Format:Audio CD
This is one of the best recordings of the Music for the Royal Fireworks. It has the full string orchestra which Handel had intended and flows along at an astonishing pace sounding professional and inspirational.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply A Royal Performance! 12 Oct 2005
By Octavius - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
As the previous reviewer has outlined in depth the history of the piece and its segments, I will limit my review simply to the performance of the piece by the group and Leppard's direction. In one word: majestic!

This is one of the greatest performances for this piece available. Any German Baroque piece directed by Leppard is guaranteed to be a solid performance as he is a conductor who knows his specialties which are solidly Bach and Handel. The pieces are not hurried or uneven but instead simply graceful and balanced as they were intended. In everyway regal!

This is a great performance and the sound quality exemplary for an earlier recording such as this one. Leppard is always well balanced in his renditions particularly with those of Handel or Bach and especially concerti that include brass. You certainly can't go wrong with this model performance or any German Baroque performance directed by Leppard really. This is a great purchase and addition for anyone's classical music collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Place to Start w/GFH, and to Finish! 22 July 2010
By J. A. Van Sant - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
This is a great CD to satrt knowing Handel, and once know him, this CD will still be there, as wonderful as ever.

I just threw out my cassette of this recording once I saw it here on CD. I have had and cherished this music since I was a teenager - it helped start me liking classical music (1982)

Perhaps this is a little less authentic that more recent versions, perhaps a little more heavy and modernized. But it sure is a helluva lot of fun!
5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful 28 May 2013

The sound quality of this recording is quite good and the English Chamber Orchestra's version is a delight to listen to.
