Product Description

Product Description

From the onset of the historical performances movement some years back, listeners have been subjected to a great many historically correct yet musically limp, passive and rudderless performances. So conductor Andrew Manze deserves real credit for the marvelous job he does here with the Academy of Ancient Music in the twelve Concerti Grossi, Opus 6, of George Frideric Handel. With great warmth as well as vigor he lets these felicitous, robust works come to life. What we hear is more color, more meat and more life than we are likely to get from a typical early music ensemble. Manze is a great musician. --Gwendolyn Freed

Chronique amazon.fr

Les opus 6 de Haendel sont les plus connus de ses Concerti Grossi : des oeuvres qui dévoilent panache et rayonnement constant. Manze et l'Academy of Ancient Music délivrent une version fine et nette, très rythmée et parfaitement dessinée. Presque une vision solaire, ce qui peut étonner de la part de Manze. A mettre sur le même plan que les lectures très dynamiques de Hogwood, Christie ou Pinnock. --Eric Frank

Handel's Concerti Grossi Op 6 in excellent performance Dec 1 2011
By Rodge TOP 100 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Handel's Concerti Grossi op 6 is the main reason I even listen to Handel. I'm not a Messiah nut, but this music is fine, fine, fine. Handel pushes the boundaries of the baroque forms in delightful music, and it is delightfully performed by the Academy of Ancient Music. These pieces compare with Bach's Brandenburg Concertos, perhaps not as creatively brilliant but definitely a rival for listening pleasure.

FANTASTIC HANDEL!! Jun 27 2003
Format:Audio CD
THIS CD IS JUST GREAT, BECAUSE THE MUSIC FLOWS LIKE A RIVER TO THE SEA, IN OTHER WORDS YOU BETCHA HEAR IT, DAMN GREAT!!
THE FIRST CD IS A "MUST" AND THE VIOLINS SOUND SO SMOOTH.... I CAN'T EXPLAIN THE FEELINGS YOU SHOULD TRY IT, AND OF COURSE BUY ONE 'CAUSE THIS CD IS 4EVER.

A good recording of this work but there are better Nov 8 2001
Format:Audio CD
The playing is admirable and beautiful(especially the outstanding stylish playing from Manze and his soloist), and the use of period instruments is wonderful. But this recording is slightly bland in some movements(certain movements could be taken faster)if you want a recording with more passion I would opt for either the version from the Orpheus CO on DG or the one's from Iona Brown on Hanssler or Philips(I have listening to these recordings thousands of times and I warmly recommend them with 5 stars)
