If the people at Nimbus are smart, they'll do a whole collection of discs on this theme. The literary-musical connection is, when done tastefully, as it is here, irresistible. As the intelligent and interesting notes maintain, "London at the time of Jane Austen was one of the most exciting centers in all of Europe for music," and this was an era of great fertility of composers in general. Lucky Jane! Imagine publishing your second novel the same year that Beethoven's Seventh Symphony receives its premiere. Or offering your fourth novel to the public near the time of the first performance of Schubert's Fifth Symphony. The program highlights popular music from Austen's time by Mendelssohn, Haydn, Fasch, J.C. Bach, Boyce, Schubert and others. I find the exclusion of chamber music a little odd here, though, since chamber music was the rage among the sort of gentlemen and women of the country about whom Austen wrote so well. --Gwendolyn Freed

5 out of 5 stars Delightful Music With a Spring In Its Step.......2005-09-26

This CD is an excellent example of music written in the transitional Rococo period between Baroque and Classical. When these eight delightful symphonies, originally composed as overtures between 1739 and 1756, were first published together as a set in 1760, J.S. Bach had been dead only 10 years, Handel one year, and Haydn was 28 years old.

Though Boyce's style has elements that can be compared to these composers (the first movement of Symphony No. 5 in particular is reminiscent of Handel's Water Music and Music for Royal Fireworks), he is neither a faded echo of Bach, nor a mere imitator of Handel, nor a pale precursor of Haydn. He has his own distinctive musical style that is fully apparent in this recording. As Michael Tilmouth writes in his informative essay in the CD booklet: "If we were asked to name the native musician most typical of his profession in 18th-century England we would almost certainly nominate William Boyce. . . . No doubt Boyce learned a good deal from his great contemporary Handel. But his music has a robust and fresh quality of its own, nowhere more apparent than in the vigorous 'jiggs' and sturdy, tuneful gavottes of these symphonies, a quality that seems innately English and makes a distinctive and valuable contribution to the music of the 18th century."

The allegro movements of these symphonies, filled with bouyancy and enthusiasm, resonate with vitality. The adagio movements are enchanting. The performance, recorded in June 1986 with Trevor Pinnock conducting The English Concert and playing the harpsichord, is first-rate. Pinnock is one of the most distinguished names associated with the period instrument movement. The sound quality on this CD is crystal clear. Time = 60:04. Highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars Great, great music.......2001-03-30

I didn't know anything about William Boyce before I bought this CD, and now I am hooked on his music! His music is wonderful, very bright, happy, and highly enjoyable. I've been told that he is also known as the "English Bach," and I don't think that's an exaggeration. Boyce's music is in a somewhat conservative Baroque style, even though he lived during the end of the Baroque period, when the early Classical and Rococo music dominated the music scene. However, I am certain his music must have been a hit, especially these 8 symphonies. Briliant music performed by Trevor Pinnock's briliant English Consort, this CD is a must-have! My personal favourites are symphonies #1 and #4.

5 out of 5 stars Superb recording!.......2000-06-03

When you hear these 8 symphonies you will notice that William Boyce (1711-1779) is a very great and enjoyable english baroque and rococo composer. Try listen to the "symphony no. 8 in D minor" especially the last movement and you will think: How great the music was in the 18th-century. The outstanding conductor Trevor Pinnock and his authentic instruments ensemble The English Concert gives a first-class, lively and superb performance. This cd is highly recommendable.

5 out of 5 stars Pinnock does it again.......2000-02-09

I love the overtures (or symphonies) of William Boyce, the "English Bach," as I'm sure most lovers of late baroque music do. Trevor Pinnock et al. are in superb form here; I'd say this is the Boyce Symphonies disc to purchase.

5 out of 5 stars William Boyce.......2006-08-21

William Boyce is a comparatively unknown composer, but one who merits greater recognition. He combines a wide ranging capability for orchestration, for innovative rhythms and for delightful melodies. Overshadowed by Bach, a youngerr contemporary, Boyce is a worthwhile addition to any serious collection

5 out of 5 stars Fresh, clear, colourful and stylish.......2005-08-06

This recording is excellent and the Aradia Ensemble just seems to get better and better with every recording. This recording presents us with eight symphonies by William Boyce. These works have a very agreeable late Baroque flavour to them.
Boyce was not quite in the same league as Handel, Haydn or Rameau, but his music is, nonetheless, very beguiling and attractive. A solo for the flute in the first symphony could have almost been written by Rameau.

The Aradia Ensemble plays Boyce's works with great ease and skill. I have listened to this CD many times since I bought it two weeks ago. It makes for very enjoyable listening.

Could Amazon do something about the lousy mongrel who keeps marking my reviews as unhelpful even when I write positive and enthusiastic reviews? I am finding the actions of this turkey very tedious and stupid.

      If you pass up this glorious,ecstatic music,it's on your head! I've been a fan of Boyce forever,and couldn't conceive of being without these. They send me soaring with each hearing.

      5 out of 5 stars Symphonic baby steps.......2007-05-17

      Before there were the symphonies of Mozart and Beethoven, William Boyce was composing the musical baby steps which would lead to the development of symphonies. His music is lovely and moving, and I have long wished that he would be given more exposure. It seems as if my wish might come true as I have heard of release of more of his music lately. Boyce's symphonies are more like what we would call movements - short and sweet. All eight of these symphonies take only an hour to listen to. This version of his eight symphonies taken in hand by the great Sir Neville Marriner and the Orchestra of St. Martin's of the Fields is a good place to start. This is a fine addition to anyone's music collection.

        5 out of 5 stars Original sound is the best kind of sound.......2006-06-13

        When I first heard this set, I assumed the works that would stand out for me would be the Bach and Handel, because, bluntly put, they are the best Baroque composers. And, I thought, when you cradle the best Baroque composers in the hands of Christopher Hogwood and his Academy of Ancient Music, miraculous things occur. And they do. But after hearing both of these discs of period instrument playing, some of the greatest music I heard was by the obscure 18th century composers.
        First of all, the ridiculously underrated Telemann, whose prolific musical contribution is hundreds of church cantatas, fifty operas, and many concertos and suites, gives us a lovely concerto grosso as the second feature in this set. The fast movements bring utmost joy, while the slow ones bring us tranquility (like in the viola d'amore solo at the end of movement one). The Arne overture is also very cheerful and charming. In addition, the works by Rebel and Boyce are very musical. Coming to the threshold of the Late Baroque geniuses (Bach, Handel, Vivaldi), their works are well-performed, yet there is something lacking in originality. The pieces have been played so many times; the standards are set too high. With the unknown Baroque instrumental works, everything is fresh, young, and new. (But I must say that the Brandenburg No. 4 is my favorite Bach recording of all time.)
        Five out of five stars, at least. Overall, very sweet.
        Thanks again, Christopher. Your orchestra is magical.

        5 out of 5 stars Another great Baroque compilation disc!.......2002-02-15

        This disc could aptly be described as a Baroque 'Greatest Hit's' release. Roy Goodman leads his Brandenburg Consort through some of the best-known Baroque pieces with grace and skill. The Hyperion label specializes in Baroque music, and this disc pretty much includes the best-known works from the period's most recognizable composers. There are a number of Baroque compilation discs out there, so the competition is stiff. Still, this 1992 release is DDD and offers 24 selections by 17 composers. It provides a comprehensive overview of Baroque music, and each piece has been expertly played and recorded. I can't think of a better and more affordable introduction to Baroque music.
