      5 out of 5 stars These performances are magnificent........1999-04-30

      The Iona Brown/St. Martins performances of the Handel Concerti Grossi Op. 3 and 6 are incredible--flawless ensemble, incredible rhythmic energy, perfect tempi, heartbreaking phrasing and expression that can only be compared to the best in vocal performance. The recordings are remastered from my favorite Phillips LPs. I believe the recordings were made in the late 70s. This is desert island stuff. The recording quality is good and clear. The sound and interpretations are pure and simple--no ponderous or scraping "original instruments" noises, and no Hamilton Harty-esque modern gloss. The experience is like the very best Mozart performances--they have their own intrinsic energy and are so beautiful that you are not conscious of any effort being made to play them. You don't have to be a classical music geek to love this stuff. The uninitiated in my household enjoy it thoroughly.

      2 out of 5 stars Even in for a traditional approach, this is really..........2001-04-09

      ...disappointing.

      Despite immaculate playing, beautiful string sound, and excellent engineering, you get...

      . . .precious performances that feel like they are being served under glass. Don't touch. It's not real...alive...it's just, well, there. And it lasts a very l o n g time. Much longer than what three CDs usually play for...... Very s l o w.

      Disappointing, given that Klein and these forces have given us some good to excellent recordings. Oh well. One must try Manze and the Academy of Ancient Music (Harmonia Mundi) for a musical feast that delights the ears, the mind, and the heart. Save your nickels for that set!

      2 out of 5 stars A real...yawn...disappointment........2000-03-26

      A really disappointing offering from Klein & the Hamburg Soloists, who have provided us with an excellent set of Haydn's Divertimenti. The playing is beautiful and totally immaculate, but these are old-school German performances...slow, heavy and virtually guaranteed to cause sleepiness. Now I am not fanatical on authentic performance practices, but one thing I do appreciate is the quick tempos and accent on liveliness the authenticists have brought. Klein is more along the lines of the old Karajan/Ritcher school of the 50s and 60s, emphasizing weightiness and dignity. If you like that kind of playing, you will like these performances. Otherwise, you will not (as I have not). Next purchase...Opus 6 by I Musici de Montreal.
