Review:
A good box
This is rather a good box, I think. The performances are very decent and there's
a very good selection of music by a variety of composers.
The box contains 8 discs of music written for the Dresden
Court in the late 17th- and 18th Centuries by composers like
Vivaldi, Telemann, Pisendel, Zelenka, Heinichen and others. There is a variety of secular and sacred
music and it makes a varied and very enjoyable set.
These recordings were made between 1989 and 1995, and they
are pretty good, without being up to the phenomenal standard set by some more
recent ensembles under people like Rachel Podger, Fabio Biondi and many
others. They are technically very sound
and have a decent engagement with all they perform, so I find that especially
playing just one or two pieces at a time they are very enjoyable.
At the current price for 8 discs of very good music in
decent performances which are well recorded, I think this box represents good
value and I can recommend it.
