Kubelik with the Berlin Philharmonic has for me always captured the spirit of this music the best and in a way which completely eludes most of the HIPP recordings I have heard - honourable exceptions being those of Robert King and Trevor Pinnock mentioned in other posts which I have enjoyed. I also like the Scottish Chamber Orchestra under Sir Alexander Gibson.

Yes, this was the version I grew up with and loved on LP. I also enjoy Il Fondamento's recording on Vanguard Classics, coupled with the Telemann suite.Originally posted by AmpH View Post
The glowing reviews (here and elsewhere) of the Niquet make it very tempting, though.

I think this one was in Gramophone's top 75 recordings of all time.Originally posted by AmpH View PostComment

Just to give a taste of the Niquet:
I must admit I paid around £12 for the SACD at the time of its UK release. I already had the CD version, but could not resist the 'upgrade'.
The 'ripe' intonation is no accident, by the way. It is based on hard core research. Lots of pertinent info in the booklets which accompanies the CD and SACD versions.Comment

That one had escaped my attention. Thanks, it's a must!Originally posted by Pegleg View Post... Don't forget his 2012 Prom:

My first recording was with the Boyd Neal Orchestra on Decca Ace of Clubs. I nearly wore that one out. And when I say "my first recording", it was really that - my first LP.Comment

Another vote for Niquet & co from Inquisition Towers - a glorious noise! Like Bryn, I upgraded from to the SACD issue and am very, very tempted to head up to the RAH for their late night Prom, despite the likely late finish time and journey back home.Originally posted by Bryn View PostWithout a doubt:
