The Academy of Ancient Music, Richard Egarr (organ & direction) In the 1730s Handel was prepared to try any novelty in order to remain at the centre of the musical scene in London. This is what prompted him to interpolate concertos for organ, with himself as soloist, in performances of his oratorios. Their considerable success soon led to the publication of a whole set of such concertos: it is this edition, corrected with great care by the composer himself, that Richard Egarr used for the present recording. “Egarr's playing sparkles with vitality and character. The musicianship of the Academy of Ancient Music is outstanding, and their articulate and dynamically shaded playing is subtle and responsive.” Gramophone Magazine, August 2008 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Lorenzo Ghielmi (organ), Margaret Koll (harp) & Luca Pianca (lute) La Divina Armonia “It (the organ) does ‘ speak with an Italian accent’, though: it is light, transparent, joyful with almost flimsy foundation stops. This matches well Ghielmi’s dynamic and lively playing….Ghielmi being the director as well
as soloist, there is a pleasant unity of phrasing….Warmly recommended.” Goldberg, June 2008 “The resonant sound makes the small band sound much bigger than it really is, and Gheilmi's organ sounds much more like a "church" organ than Egarr's lighter instrument.” Gramophone Magazine, August 2008 | | | Usually despatched in 3 - 4 working days. |
