    4 out of 5 stars Halstead and forces do right by the "London Bach".......2001-07-02

    If you can get over the confusion in their numbering, Johann Christian Bach's works are well worth exploring. The "London Bach" was a very influential composer early in the Classical period, highly regarded by Mozart himself and rising to the position of music master to the Queen of England before dying in poverty at the age of 46.

    This release of one of J.C. Bach's most noted sets of symphonies is actually entitled by the liner notes "Six Symphonies, Hummel Op. 6"; it turns out that various publishers attached the "op. 6" designation to numerous different sets of the composer's work. (For example, there are also two "Opus 18"s, and the "Opus 8" symphonies released by an Amsterdam publisher in the mid 1770s actually include three of the symphonies already published in "Hummel Op. 6"! The work-numbering situation is so confused that in the absence of true catalog numbers, the "New Grove" numbers the works according to PAGE NUMBERS in C.S. Terry's study of the composer's output!) But the fame of this Op. 6 stems mainly from the final symphony of the set, a G Minor work which is unusually dark and serious for this time period and this composer.

    Anthony Halstead and the Hanover Band live up to their usual high standards in this music, part of what is said to be a survey of J.C. Bach's complete orchestral works. Based on the sound of this disc, the first I have heard (although several others appear on Amazon), I can only hope that they continue to turn out similarly splendid releases of this neglected composer.

        For anyone with more than a casual interest in music, any music, A History of Baroque Music: Instrumental Music and its companion volume devoted to secular music will prove invaluable. Here, thoughtfully arranged as five thematic programmes, is an anthology that delivers exactly what the title promises, and in doing so lays out the foundations of Western music; not just classical music, but the folk tradition and most everything else that has developed since. Despite the budget price, the collection is attractively packaged like a miniature LP box set, each disc presented in its own tastefully designed card sleeve. There is an astonishing six and a half hours of music, from the emergence of instrumental forms in the early 16th century to the development of the baroque orchestra and the concerto, with the final disc being devoted to an exploration of the specifically German Lutheran and polyphonic tradition. The accompanying booklet sets the context with 25 pages of, clear, accessible English-language notes, making the collection appropriate for educational use as well as providing undiluted pleasure through the music of Bach, Corelli, Dowland, Handel, Monteverdi, Purcell, Telemann, Vivaldi, and many lesser-known composers. The recordings, taken from Harmonia Mundi's extensive back catalog, come from many of the top names in early music performance, including the Academy of Ancient Music, William Christie, Ensemble 415, René Jacobs, London Baroque, and Ton Koopman and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment. In other words, this is an anthology of the very highest quality, a rich banquet of absolutely wonderful music. --Gary S. Dalkin

        5 out of 5 stars Incredible sound, incredible performances.......2002-12-03

        This 5-CD set, one of three parts of an anthology of baroque music originally called "Pathways of Baroque Music," is undoubtedly the best introduction to Baroque music that has been issued, and it should be in the collection of every lover of Baroque or classical music. Unlike most anthologies or single-disk samplings of baroque music, the works are arranged according to genre and in historical order. Thus the set is extremely useful for increasing our understanding of Baroque instrumental music and its development, while giving us a taste of many composers and works that even hardened Baroque music lovers like myself may never have heard of.

        What is more, the quality of the recordings and of the disks is unmatched -- I have never heard better sound out of my stereo equipment than I have with these disks, except perhaps when playing DVDs with 5-track surround sound and DTS. While these are only "conventional" CDs, I think they even sound better than the small number of SACDs that I have purchased. I wish harmonia mundi would re-release the whole 15-CD collection in large quantity so that we can purchase them new instead of used!

        5 out of 5 stars History of Baroque Music: great sound, wealth of information.......2002-01-30

        This review is based on the French edition. The textual portion of the booklet is trilingual (French, English, German). The playlist is partly bilingual. The music is grouped and subgrouped by genre.

        Disks:
        The Emergence of Instrumental Music-transition from the earlier Renaissance: Improvisation, toccata, dance,etc.
        Chamber Music
        The Baroque Orchestra
        Concerto
        The Specifically German

        All of the last four are similarly subgrouped.

        The text is very informative about genres and specific compositions. This recording is refreshing in that it presents some lovely but lesser known music of the Baroque era.

        Above all, Baroque music is a wonderful stress-buster. It is a shame this lovely collection has been so hard to get.
