Handel Paillard

oyal baroque from festive to virtuoso: the most popular by Vivaldi, Handel and colleagues When baroque festive trumpets unfolded their splendor, everyone listened: the sound of brass instruments was a sounding sign for princes and kings and their lavish splendor. Centuries later, hardly anyone can escape the effects of Baroque music: Vivaldi, Handel and Bach are still classic chart strikers par excellence. The Königliches Barock album combines everything that makes this music so fascinating: festive splendor as in Handel's fireworks music, Telemann's trumpet concerto or Charpentiers Te Deum, sacred depth as in Corelli's Christmas concert, Albinoni's Adagio or Pachelbel's canon.

The harpist Lily Laskine (1893-1988) was a popular and influential figure whose name was particularly closely identified with the Erato label, although she also recorded for EMI. The first woman to play in the orchestra of the Paris Opéra, she made her first recording for Erato – Mozart’s Concerto for Flute and Harp with Jean-Pierre Rampal – in 1958, when she was already 65. She made her last Erato recording 23 years later. Her stereo remake of the Mozart concerto (again partnering with Rampal), recorded in 1963, remains an all-time classical bestseller in France.

Jean-François Paillard and his chamber orchestra perform Arcangelo Corelli's "Concerti grossi, Op. 6". The chamber orchestra of Paillard is perhaps best known from their 1968 recording of Pachelbel's "Canon", which nearly single-handedly brought the piece from obscurity into great renown.

RCA Red Seal is a classical music label and is now part of Sony Masterworks. The Red Seal label was begun in 1902 by the Gramophone Company in the United Kingdom and was quickly adopted by its United States affiliate, the Victor Talking Machine Company, and its president, Eldridge R. Johnson. Distinctive, red paper information labels affixed to the centre of the two affiliated companies' black shellac discs inspired the name. Led by the work of the great tenor Enrico Caruso, Victor's Red Seal Records changed the perception of recorded music.

The Japanese company, BMG Japan, sorted the original RCA RED SEAL CDs according to the composers and the year when the music pieces were created. BEST100 series are the best representative CDs, which were carefully chosen from those music pieces by acting and recording, and they were released again with the mark of RCA BEST100. These CDs are the most impressive records in the classical field at RCA’s best. Theoretically, we could find the single originals of those CDs, but BMG Japan reorganised excellently for everyone. During BMG Japan period, it was released for the first time in 1999 and for the second time in 2008 after SONY took over BMG. BEST100 series belong to the latter.
