Synopsis

Amazon.com
Like Bach, Handel was primarily a composer of vocal music, making his instrumental works something rare and special. The two composers' talents complemented each other rather well, in fact. Bach's concertos took Vivaldi as his model, while Handel emulated his friend Corelli. Bach composed his keyboard concertos for harpsichord, while Handel preferred the organ. Bach wrote only four orchestral works--the orchestral suites--that were not concertos, while Handel created only the Water and Fireworks music. Between the two composers, you have as fine a survey of baroque orchestral music as it's possible to get. Buy this inexpensive set and you're halfway there. --David Hurwitz
