Mcgegan Water Music

Nicholas McGegan and the Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra's account of Handel's three Water Musick Suites is as light, as lively, as grand, and as thoroughly enjoyable as any recording of the works ever made. Performed here on period instruments and in a historically informed manner, the playing here is amazingly expert and astoundingly experienced. There are no flubs from the trumpets, bleats from the horn, squawks from the woodwinds, or scrapes from the strings. Instead, every note is exactly where it should be doing exactly what it should do: providing infectiously melodic and irresistibly rhythmic performances of these well-loved works. McGegan's direction stresses the brilliance and beauty of the music by clarifying textures, polishing the colors, and bringing out the big tunes.

George Frederick Handel (1685-1759), one of the preeminent Baroque composers, was born in Germany, educated in Italy, and spent most of his career in England, making him one of the first genuinely cosmopolitan composers noted, for the elegance, sophistication, and tunefulness of his music. He established his reputation in London as a composer of Italian opera, but after public taste shifted in the 1730s, he turned to English oratorios, the most famous of which is Messiah. Other popular works include Water Music, Royal Fireworks Music, the operas Giulio Cesare and Serse, and the oratorios Israel in Egypt and Judas Maccabeus.
