Rare outstanding Concertos of Handel., August 17, 2007
By Eamon Rogers (Ireland)
This is a very rare opportunity to hear Handel's Organ Concertos for the first time, indeed some may like to take this C.D. to bits and point out what's not right with the recording. You must look pass this and hear and if not see all the very hard work that want into this recording and in my view is outstanding.I love handel and indeed my ebay name is of the same, george-frideric-handel-born1685-died1759 and any recording from the Master of Masters is always welcome-Kind Regards-Eamon John Rogers NAWCC Inc, Ireland
