Archiv Produktion, 1989
Outstanding period performances
These recordings are excellent. Pinnock's Brandenburg concertos remain the standard for period instruments, offering exceptional musicianship and an authentic rendition. The Overtures are also great, although I greatly prefer the readings of Reinhard Goebel and Musica ...

The best period instrument Mozart symphony cycle around
Trevor Pinnock and the English Concert turn in the best period instrument Mozart Symphony cycle around. With 20-30 players, the English Concert sounds full and rich, and are so well recorded, one could mistake them for a modern instrument chamber orchestra augmented ...

Bach: Six Concertos

Avie, 2007
Wow
In the booklet that accompanies this set, maestro Pinnock notes, "...in 1982 I stood in awe of Bach's discipline and order, today I relish his sense of daring and musical subversion. Eager to cut through any conceptions of period style I invited players from different ...
Christmas in Rome [DVD Video]
Deutsche Grammophon, 2007
A very traditional Christmas
Well, if you've been hankering for a traditional Christmas, here it is. Spanning the years from the early fifth century, when the beautiful church of Santa Maria Maggiore was built in Rome (where these performances were recorded), to the mid-18th century (when the ...
Essential Vivaldi: 20 Greatest Masterpieces
a. Vivaldi
Deutsche Grammophon, 2002
Awesome CD
I am ever in search for music for canine freestyle and my choreographer suggested that I explore Vivaldi. My dog works great to Mozart so this was not a great departure musically. So I bought this album...It exceeded my expectations as the musicians play with emotion, ...

A Premier Bach Series Recording
I purchased these recordings nearly 20 years ago, when Deutsche Gramophone was still selling them as five individual discs, and at over $20 per disc. With the re-release of the set of all five discs in a single, price-reduced "Collectors Edition" box set, the price has ...
Essential Baroque
Essential Baroque
Decca, 2002
High-quality, marvelously varied intro to baroque music
I am buying this as the perfect gift for Russian and Chinese scientist friends. They have knowledge of classical music but perhaps not much about baroque music, which achieved special popularity in the U.S. during the 1970's and 1980's. Russians seem to have more ...

5-PLUS Stars
There are not many things in life that I would describe as just Gorgeous -- but this album is definitely one of them. The selections, the arrangements, the production quality, all are clean, yet lush -- simultaneously light and rich. The effect is wonderful. This ...

Archiv Produktion, 1999
Corelli's famous Concerti by my favorite period instrument orchestra and conductor
Trevor Pinnock's recording of Corelli's Op. 6 Concerti grossi will not be to all tastes. Those raised on traditional instrument recordings by such as Max Goberman/Vienna Sinfonietta (Odyssey LPs, circulated in the 1970s) or Paul Angerer/Southwest German Chamber ...

Violins, harpsichords, basso continuo, what can I say. Vivaldi ROCKS ! ! ! ! Excellent selection of his music and as usual flawlessly performed by the english consort.
Haydn: Missa in Angustiis "Nelson Mass" - Te Deum / Lott, Watkinson, M. Davies, Wilson-Johnson; Pinnock
Joseph Haydn

The English Concert and Choir

Archiv Produktion, 1990
One of Haydn's best
This is a superb performance of the Nelsonmesse. The soloists are talented and expressive, and the choir sings with passion and precision. One can hear Haydn's understanding of the war in relation to Austria's position, but with his hope for ultimate victory. The ...
Vivaldi: The Four Seasons (Le Quattro Stagioni Op 8 Nos 1-4) /Standage * English Concert * Pinnock
Antonio Vivaldi
, Trevor Pinnock, ...
Archiv Produktion, 1990
The best recording of this piece
This is by far the best recording I've ever heard of The Four Seasons. It isn't rushed, it doesn't drag, the pauses and ritards are just perfect, and the musicianship of the Pinnock and Standage is superb.
Christmas Concertos

Archiv Produktion, 1991
The best stealth Christmas music ever
For people who just can't bear to listen to another Christmas carol, this is the album. Completely instrumental, this is early music written with Christmas in mind, but it is in no way recognizable as Christmas music. These little heard pieces are brilliantly ...
William Boyce: 8 Symphonies - The English Concert / Trevor Pinnock
William Boyce
, Trevor Pinnock, ...
Archiv Produktion, 1990
Superb recording!
When you hear these 8 symphonies you will notice that William Boyce (1711-1779) is a very great and enjoyable english baroque and rococo composer. Try listen to the "symphony no. 8 in D minor" especially the last movement and you will think: How great the music was ...
