Handel / B'Rock Orchestra - Water & Fire [New CD]

Description: Handel / B'Rock Orchestra - Water & Fire [New CD] Artist: Handel / B'Rock Orchestra Title: Water & Fire Condition: Format: CD Release Date: 2023 Label: Pentatone UPC: 8717306260138 Genre: Box Sets With Water & Fire, B'Rock Orchestra and Dmitry Sinkovsky present Handel's Water Music alongside his Music for the Royal Fireworks. Both works were written for royal open-air ceremonies, were likely substantially drowned out by the noise of fireworks and the waves of the Thames during their first performance, and were never played again during Handel's lifetime. Since then, they have, however, become favourites of the public, and they contain some of the most appealing instrumental music of the baroque era. B'Rock performs these works with an ensemble that approaches the ca. 50 musicians that Handel originally employed, conveying the pomp and splendour while also highlighting the coloristic richness and refinement of Handel's scores. B'Rock Orchestra is one of today's most forward-thinking period orchestras with a desire for encounter and exchange. The ensemble returns to Pentatone after having released Schubert's complete symphonies with conductor René Jacobs between 2018 and 2022, as well as Antwerp Requiem c. 1650 (2022). Dmitry Sinkovsky is in demand as a conductor, violinist and countertenor, and previously appeared on Pentatone with Monteverdi: Il delirio della passione (2021).© DirectToU LLC. All Rights Reserved.
