4.0 out of 5 stars Great music--poor quality recording!, Jan 25 2005

By A would-be polymath - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Beecham Conducts Handel (Audio CD)

These orchestral suites by Handel are hard to find. I have a cassette tape of them conducted by Yo Yo Mah but I can't find any CD of this recording. I feel a little abashed about liking this music so much because it employs a larger orchestra than Handel ever dreamed of--they're a bit over the top. But I really like them, especially "Gods Go A'Begging." This recording, however, is very old and sounds like a 78rpm record. I give it 4 stars simply because this music is hard to find.

5.0 out of 5 stars Blissful music, April 11 2006

By S. Ryman "native texan" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Beecham Conducts Handel (Audio CD)

Handel's "The Gods Go A-Begging" is one of my favorites. I have heard this conducted by Gardiner which is slightly different, but I dont believe it is available. This piece of music was unavailable for purchase for so many years, and I only could hear it when I requested it on my local classical radio station. So worth having. It absolutley speaks to my heart - as does most Bach music.
