HÄNDEL, Georg Friedrich (1685-1759) | | Organ Concerto No.14 in A major | | 1. | Largo e staccato | 4:54 | | 2. | Allegro (from Violin Sonata Op.1 No.3) | 1:48 | | 3. | Andante | 0:53 | | 4. | Grave 4. 25 5 Allegro | 5:57 | | Organ Concerto No.15 in D minor | | 5. | Andante | 4:41 | | 6. | Adagio (from Suite for Harpsichord No.2) | 2:23 | | 7. | Allegro (from Suite for Harpsichord No.2) | 3:00 | | 8. | Allegro | 4:43 | | Organ Concerto No.16 in F major | | 9. | Overture - Allegro | 4:13 | | 10. | Allegro (fromViolin Sonata Op.1 No.12) | 3:51 | | 11. | Allegro ma non troppo | 3:13 | | 12. | Adagio | 2:01 | | 13. | Andante | 3:29 | | 14. | Allegro | 4:00 | | 15. | March (Allegro) | 1:32 | | “The performances of these concertos share the same characteristics of Volumes 1-3: bravura playing, clean melodic lines, especially in the solo parts, and discrete, elegant phrasing. In keeping the textures light, Handel created works of great charm and instant appeal. These recordings capture their best qualities.”
---Dr. Phil Muse, Classik Reviews (April 2004)
“These are really chamber works rather than bigtime symphonic organ concertos, but nevertheless the multichannel option sorts out the subtle interplay of organ lines from the chamber orchestra with a clarity no two-channel version can equal, even in SACD.”
---John Sunier, Audiophile Audition (Juli/August 2004)
“Schröder’s warm-toned period orchestra provides muscular but never overbearing accompaniment, its strongly markes rhyths supporting and energizing Chorzempa’s somewhat smoother (but never, ever lazy( solo work. I narrowly prefer these performances to the fine Preston/Pinnock set on Archiv….This is the set to get.”
