Handel / Minkowski Concerti Grossi Op.3 CD

Handel: Concerti Grossi Op 3 / Minkowski / Composer: George Frideric Handel / Performer: Christian Moreaux, Aline Zylberajch, Alice Pi?rot, S?bastien Marq, Marc Minkowski "Handel's Op. 3 set of Concerti grossi are given exceptionally spirited performances here, benefiting from the pungent but also plangently expressive tone of the period instruments. The slow movements are beautifully realized, the fast ones invigorating, with extremely brisk tempi and trenchant, even fierce, articulation." Date of Recording: 12/1992 Venue: Salle Berthier, Paris
