Not surprised he doesn't have the energy to check back a few messages, getting up so early and everything...

He ought to be ok., though. Its early music after all.....

Can't say I think of Handel's as "early music". More late baroque, what? Though I feel sure that our Rosbif friend would happily roll out of bed for late baroque.

Handel is prehistoric for me.

Bed is for wimps.

It's only Baroque'n'Roll, Beefy.

Well, if it aint Baroque, don't try to fix it

Listened to CD review again and listened to Hogwood excerpts online. Can't make my mind up between Manze and Hogwood.

I had the same problem...was waiting after the extract to be reminded who was playing, only to find we were going onto the next excerpt. I think the Polonaise/bagpipes performance was probably by Il Giardino Armonico...I agree, it was a lot of fun.

I'm still baffled as to why the excellent Hogwood version wasn't mentioned, especially as it has come out in a newly remasterised version along with Op.3.

That sounds tem[ting, MickyD!!

Put them in alphabetical order and you won't go far wrong - you'll probably also get them better in tune...

I'm dyslexic, so I'll end up with the Karajan!!!

The Hogwood is £9 cheaper too. Think I'm gonna have to sleep on this one.

The Manze is soo exhilarating !

And maybe you get an eels & mash voucher too?

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

The Karajan is beautiful.

[BBMmk2]

I have the Manze!!
