Handel, Telemann: Water Music

Amazon.com
Another interesting coupling from Robert King. First we had Handel's Fireworks Music and the Coronation Anthems giving us the ultimate in Baroque splendor. Now we have two different composers' brands of "water music." Handel and Telemann were good friends (Handel sent Telemann specimens of rare plants for his greenhouse--how's that for piece of trivia?), and both men wrote music to order--Telemann much more so than Handel. In fact, there's very little instrumental music by Handel--he preferred operas and oratorios--but there's tons of it by Telemann. He was the most prolific composer that we care about now. Handel's Water Music shows him at his best, but with Telemann you've got to pick and choose. Fortunately, his piece is also delightful, and both are very well played. --David Hurwitz

Baby Neptune.......2006-03-18

I love all of the Baby Einstein DVD's, so the music CD has been just as good as the DVD's. I play it all the time when my son is in the car and it seems to calm him and keep his attention. I even listen to it in the car when my son is not with me. It is relaxing and soothing.

PLEASE BE AWARE.......2007-02-25

The audio samples given here are from the Vivaldi for Valentines CD in this same Philips series. NOT Bach.

The Vivaldi was great, though.

Bubble Bath Baroque.......2005-09-27

Light some candles, run a bubble bath, put in bath beads, pop this CD into your stereo and indulge in a bath that would mean you've pampered yourself in extremis. This particular recording from the popular Set Your Life To Classical series is a real treat for Bathtime, or in my opinion, anytime. It is indeed, as the title suggests, a relaxing serenade to wash your cares away. It is therapy, a perfect companion to a massage, reading a book, drinking tea, anything you can do alone to pamper yourself and to relax. Iona Brown, a female conductor, takes Sir Neville Marriner's place and conducts the Academy of St Martin In The Fields performing such works as the opening track - the Lute Concerto by Vivaldi as well as Track 4's Largo from the Winter movement in The Four Seasons, track 12's Concerto For Two Guitars by Corelli and the Oboe Concerto in D by Telemann. Also featured on here Oboe Concerti by Handel and Water Music Suite, and other conductors featured on here are Raymond Leppard and his English Chamber Orchestra. The Canon in D has never sounded more radiant than on here as it is conducted by Sir Neville Marriner and closes the CD nicely. A more relaxing way to take a bath you'll be hard-pressed to find. This music is gorgeous, it's affordable (on the Used Item section and the regular price) and is as always, a great intro to classical music and a fun, innovative way to enjoy it.

Cleansing Sounds To Wash Away Tensions.......2003-01-09

This is pleasing, pastoral music picked to relieve that which tenses up our bodies and souls.

Turn on this excellent baroque collection from the likes of Vivaldi, Telemann, Handel and Pachelbel (among others) superbly played by such virtuosos as Rampal, Holliger et al.

Sweeping instrumental arias are so relaxing! This one will soothe the savage beast as well as those tired bods.

Great Classical Music Series Gorgeous Music.......2002-12-22

The cd series "Set Your Life To Classical Music", composes a variety of baroque, classical and romantic instrumental music that serves the purpose of leisure and background while you engage in the day or evening's activities. The purpose is therapeutic. There are other titles in the series, such as "Bach For Breakfast", "Beethoven For Book Lovers" "Chopin And Champagne", "Baroque For Bedtime", "Puccini and Pasta", "Mozart For The Morning Commute", the series goes on and on. It is a great way to soothe your tensions and provides stress-free, nearly New Age style music that you'd more than likely hear at a masseur's place of business. One can also make the argument that this is the music you'd hear at an elevator. What I like about all these series is that they are also a great introduction to instrumental/classical music. The ensembles performing the classical works are virtuosic and well known in world of classical performance, such as Sir Neville Marriner and St. Martin In The Fields, I Musici and the New Age, Yani-style musician, Zamfir, who specializes in rare instruments such as pan pipes.

On this recording, specifically designed to accompany your bubble bath, there are beautiful, slower-paced movements from Baroque flute, violin and oboe concertos. There are the Sicilian style movements of such composers as Vivaldi, Bach and Telemann. The largo from the Winter movement is a richly melodic and dreamy piece for strings, and the concluding work, Canon In D Major, is an elegant, graceful and heartfelt chamber piece that has become iconic in Baroque music. It was used in the film, Ordinary People and is very popular in classical music for weddings. I strongly recommend all the cds in the series. They are a perfect way to get you into some of the most beautiful classical music ever written, and are a great way to involve music as the wordless, instrumental soundtrack in your life.

A relaxing serenade.......2000-12-28

This is a wonderful collection of Baroque pieces that will truly relax and wash away stress and tension. I especially like the oboe and classical guitar pieces. If you are a fan of the pan flute, this is also a good CD for you, but the pan flute actually is the down side of the CD for me. All the songs are first rate!

poor sound quality.......2004-09-29

a great selection of baroque favorites, but the sound quality, especially on the pachelbel canon, not great at all. for that reason, i cannot recommend getting it. what do you expect for five dollars, right !>? i would suggest spending a little more money and getting something that you can't bear to part with, for continued listening enjoyment.

SUPERB.......2004-02-19

An introduction to the best baroque music by famous composers.
Great sound on this CD. There are over 10 CD's in this Farorites collection, and this by far is one of the best ones.

If you like the classical sounds of music, then you will like this. Check out the samples on this page that they provide, that's the best way to review.

In this case: I'm baroque.......2004-02-07

I'm not usually a classical listener kind of gal. The only reason I stumbled onto this cd is because my favorite tune from a movie is on it. Sarabande is also played on the movie Persuasion (author: Jane Austen). I wanted to have that tune. Followed the links and landed on the Baroque cd. Ordered it. Sarabande is my favorite, followed by Canon, four seasons: spring, etc. I love this cd! It feels happy and light. For me, as a writer and an animator, it adds extra emotional impact when creating as well as influencing my imagination more. I recommend this cd when people want to feel like spring.

Come to laugh and stay to cry.......2003-11-26

Circumspect at first about buying any CD with a "best of" title, this one really exceeds expectations. Also bought the Vivaldi disc in this series which is likewise exceptional. With the caveat that "Ombra mai fu" is repeated in various of the "25 favorites" collections, I recommend these recordings wholeheartedly, especially in terms of cost per track.

"Canon" is the flagship piece on this CD, a lush arrangement that will move a strong man to tears. Almost as powerful are Bach's "Air on the G String" and of course, Handel's "Ombra mai fu". The disc ends on an up note with "Trumpet Voluntaire".

At this price, you can send "Baroque favorites" to every Classical music lover you know. I would recommend sending this CD even to people who don't like Classical...you might just change their minds.

Great Introduction to Beautiful Music.......2000-07-08

The Baroque period (1600-1750) was one of the most important in the history of music because many of our modern musical forms come from this time. The baroque style is diverse, including such elements as contrast and a deep emotionalism. Although orchestras perform the songs, many individual instruments are highlighted. The baroque composers especially loved strings, the trumpet, and the oboe. The songs range from the vibrant and the lively to the slow and the sad. I have found this CD is excellent as background music for studying, reading, or driving in rush hour traffic, mainly because the music is calming and relaxing. Baroque masters such as Bach and Handel are still popular today and their songs are loved by many. Fans of popular music will recognize a few of the songs on this CD. "Air on the G String" (Bach) was used by Procol Harum in their song "A Whiter Shade of Pale." "Canon," one of the most popular baroque songs today, is often performed at weddings and has been incorporated into pop songs by artists such as the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Vitamin C, and Rod McKuen.

This CD is considered an introduction to baroque music. It includes some of the most famous composers and their best songs. For example, Bach, Handel, and Vivaldi each have three songs on this disc. The liner notes are sparse, but a brief history of baroque music is included. Because of the inexpensive price and the huge amount of music (25 songs, 74 minutes of music), I highly recommend this for anyone who already loves the baroque style or wants an excellent introduction to this beautiful music.

Baroque Trumpet at its Best.......2007-05-16

The desire for period instrument recordings is now reaching higher and farther than before in this country (indeed, though, it is still surpassed by that of Europe). Here we have the premiere example of the gorgeous playing of Niklas Eklund on the baroque trumpet repertoire, who here is all but unreachable from the point of technique, phrasing, and sound.

As a trumpet player, I personally understand difficulties of performing this repertoire on the baroque trumpet which Niklas, as a fourth generation trumpeter, does not notice (when I saw him live this became more clear than ever it was). His trills are to be envied by a valved trumpet and his sound quality is ever constant and beautiful at all registers in his playing. His phrasing is both period appropriate and moving. He does not over embellish or perform in a showy manner, but rather he emotes. The moving quality of his playing left me speechless upon the first hearing of this album. Here the Telemann concerto in particular deserves recognition especially in the Adagio movement, for where many trumpeters fall apart he continues growing and moving through to the last note.

The selection of repertoire is fairly standard and these are pieces that anyone familiar with the baroque trumpet repertoire might be expected to know, after all, though, it is but his first album. Repertoire is, however, as stated, the only thing "standard" about this recording. The playing by the Drottningholm Baroque Ensemble matches the quality by Eklund and the two work together flawlessly. Regardless of how many other recordings there are of this repertoire out there, this one is the one above all others that you should own if you are intent upon discovering this music, and I give this both as a trumpet player and avid music fan. From an economical standpoint, this is also a NAXOS release which means that it's generally cheaper than other recordings of the same repertoire.

In short, if it you are searching for a recording of either period performances of baroque music or simply a recording of one of these specific pieces, there should be no doubt in your mind that this is the one for you, for reasons of sound and performance quality as well as price.

the best.......2000-02-26

This cd is, by far the best trumpet cd I own. His control in all registers, especially his trills, is unreal. Niklas Eklund has gone beyond merely acomplishing the right notes. It sounds better than anything I've heard with valves. This is, however, not just a technical show. His phrasing, particularly in the Telemann, is fabulous. The longer note values in the trecherous technical passages in the second and fourth movements is refreshing. For anyone who has ever played a baroque trumpet or just likes good music, this is a must.

Music for Baroque trumpet.......2000-01-22

In this recording we have the opportunity to a number of concerti and two sonatas for baroque trumpet.Trumpeter E.Eklund plays works from the baroque on a period trumpet.From a Sonata by Torelli to a concerto by Leopold Mozart (The father of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart) to which Mr. Eklund wrote his own cadenza.Considering the fact that the baroque trumpet is a difficult instrument to play,Mr. Eklund dominates this instrument with such a virtuosity and a n impecable technique...Indeed a five stars recording.

On Baroque trumpet? WOW!.......1999-07-19

This recording presents unparalleled musicality. The technique of course is flawless. His interpretations of the pieces are so strong. There are so many good things to say about this CD. This is a must for any classical trumpet player's CD library.

Another interesting coupling from Robert King. First we had Handel's Fireworks Music and the Coronation Anthems giving us the ultimate in Baroque splendor. Now we have two different composers' brands of "water music." Handel and Telemann were good friends (Handel sent Telemann specimens of rare plants for his greenhouse--how's that for piece of trivia?), and both men wrote music to order--Telemann much more so than Handel. In fact, there's very little instrumental music by Handel--he preferred operas and oratorios--but there's tons of it by Telemann. He was the most prolific composer that we care about now. Handel's Water Music shows him at his best, but with Telemann you've got to pick and choose. Fortunately, his piece is also delightful, and both are very well played. --David Hurwitz

Astonishingly musical, even with period instruments.......2005-10-27

I suppose to those who follow Robert King's enormous recorded output, his musicality is no surprise. However, I don't collect Baroque music, and I flee from the sound of period instruments with their buzzes, clacks, zings, and honks.

Curiosity drew me to this recording of Handel's Water Music, a work I never thought I would listen to again, thanks to a surfeit in high school. I soon discovered what I was missing. King's conducting rises high above Gardiner, Parrott, Pinnock, Norrington, and Mackerras--to mention just a few of the HIP stars, in terms of sheer musicality. Everything is phrased beautifully, as if this sublime music isn't a warhorse but a richly expressive masterpiece. I've never heard period instruments sound so sweet, either. All in all, a delightful recording.

Excellent performances and sound........2003-08-04

This CD is beautifully recorded and is among the top performance recommendations for Handel's ever-popular Water Music. But the great bonus here is Telemann's delightful opus. I have heard an alternative version of Telemann's Water Music, but this present version is way out in front.
If you are looking for a very fine version of the Handel, you can do no better than to get this CD which has such a terrific coupling.
Full marks.

Unbelievably Powerful Recording.......2003-01-10

My wife and I are in amazement over this recording. Having just seen King lead the Detroit Symphony we wished to have some of his recordings in our collection.

This one knocks us out everytime it's played. The energy and force which King leads and the Consort plays is truly magnficent! One can just see King into the music, contorting his body this way and that with the notes, passionately urging and leading the musicians on and on.

We have many other recordings of the Handel Water Music, but were first exposed to Telemann's at the King led DSO performance, and it is becoming our favorite.

This is a true sleeper of a magnificent, passionately played rendering of baroque water music at its finest!

A great (but expensive) import . . ........2002-02-15

I was aware of Handel's Watermusic, but not of Telemann's. Both appear here on this Hyperion release, and both sound excellent. Hyperion frequently issues recordings of lesser-known Baroque composers, and here Telemann (not known to everyone) has been paired with Handel (who along with Bach and Vivaldi is one of the Baroque period's most recognizable names).

Robert King lead's the King's Consort through both pieces with energy and passion. The sound is incredible, as are both performances. The only caveat is the price. Because it's an import, you're going to pay full-price (and then some) for this disc. While Philips and Virgin (as well as a host of other major record labels) offer bargain-priced versions of Handel's Watermusic, I'm not sure which label (other than Hyperion) offers Telemann's Watermusic. Maybe Naxos has issued it (and if so, it would be at a great price). If not, then you might have to pay quite a bit to own both compositions.

It's pretty expensive no doubt, but in my opinion well worth the investment. Telemann, although not as well-known as other Baroque composers, was nonetheless a major force, and his Watermusic holds up quite well agains Handel's.

Great mix of baroque music.......2007-07-19

Most people think of Bach and Vivaldi when the phrase Baroque music comes up, and imagine old white men in white wigs playing instrumental pieces that are mathematical than musical. I though so too until buying and listening to this CD. It does contain pieces from both Vivaldi and Bach, but only less popular pieces. It also includes works from many other Baroque composers, such as Albonini, Telemann, Buffardin, Handel and Rameau. The type of music is quite melodious and is actually closer to Classical classic music than Baroque music, with some tunes having tinges of Romanticism. The instrumentation is great as all the pieces are full orchestral scores. The sound quality is also great, and for the price, this is a great CD.

Going for Baroque.......2003-01-09

Here lies master collection from ten years and fifty discs of examples from baroque era performed by choirs, soloists and instrumentalists.

Conducted by energetic Robert King and his King's Consort, this is just superb!

It will introduce one to baroque or add to one's enjoyment. Especially enjoyed Purcell's "Hear my prayer, O Lord" and Gabrieli's "Salvator noster."
