Bach - Christmas Oratorio / Gardiner
Johann Sebastian Bach
Archiv Produktion, 1990
an essential part of my yearly Christmas experience
It surprises me that a number of people here have given this splendid recording negative reviews, but that is , I guess, proof that people's tastes and expectations are different. What I expect from any Bach performance by (Sir) John Eliot are forward-moving tempi ...
Bach: Magnificat, BWV. 243; Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen

Philips, 1990
Bach's Magnificat is Here Magnificent!
This is a magnificent recording of Bach's Magnificat. The sound quality is superb, the soloists and choir clear and moving, and the orchestra flawless in execution. In fact, the Gardiner series of recordings (the Mass in B minor, St. Matthew's Passion, St. John's ...

delightful cantata
I found this album is shown as excellect level as others performed by Gardiner and the Monteverdi choir. I especially want to pick up good soprano, Nacy Argenta, her beautiful performance to lyric dream. I recommand the "Schwingt freudig euch empor" BWV 36, althought ...

Wonderful Selection of not as famous but good works!
The two works on this CD that are most known are The Magic Flute Overture, which is filled with brilliance from measure one to the end, and the opening piece to the movie Amadeus, the G Minor Symphony. These two pieces are superb but just because they are more known, ...

Philips, 1990
Among the Finest of the Available Recordings
Mozart's MASS IN C MINOR K 427 can be a mixed bag if not under the hands of the right conductor. The work itself is spotty with elements of radiant, exalting beauty along side some (pardon the thought) filler: Mozart himself was aware of this, as the work is ...

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 ...

NO VICTORIAN SANCTIMONIOUS POMP IN THIS 'MESSIAH'" SAYS GARDINER. John Eliot Gardiner's period instrument version can be confidently mentioned in the same breath with any of the great "Messiah" recordings of the past. In fact, in many ways, at the time of this ...

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 ...

One well worth the price of two
This two cd set is an odd juxtaposition. The first cd consists of a sampler of Bream's career output - but without (and I believe the omission is disgraceful) any acknowledgement of Bream's significant contribution toward the creation of a truly 20th century concert ...
Beethoven: 9 Symphonies - Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique / Gardiner
Ludwig van Beethoven
, John Eliot Gardiner, ...
Archiv Produktion, 1994
Amazing
By my estimation this is the best single cycle of Beethoven symphonies available. Since there are so many great recordings of Symphonies 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, and 9, I won't focus on those as much. Symphony No. 1 is performed very well. It is taken a bit faster (a ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 1999

Felix Mendelssohn was a Romantic composer who embraced the ideals of classicism when that trend in the Germanic countries were falling out of favor, save a few. The two symphonies represented on this disk show both the Romantic and Classicist: Symphony No. 4 "Italian" ...

Forget Suzuki and Koopman, Gardiner is the man!
There are currently three Bach Cantata series underway. Sir John Elliott Gardiner is the most recent additon to a field that already contains Suzuki/Bach Collegium Japan on BIS and Koopman/Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra on Challenge. Gardiner undertook recording the ...

Triumphant
The debate between performance styles will likely rage for the remainder of recorded/performed music. Set all of that aside. The Matthew Passion is one of the greatest works of Western art ever conceived in any medium. Retelling the story of Christ's passion ...

Nessun dorma!
This set of two CDs is a great way to listen to some highlights from many different operas when you aren't in the mood to listen to a full opera. Many of your favorite arias are here, such as Nessun Dorma, Habanera, Non piu andrai etc. But what I liked most about it is ...
