Handel: Water Music; Music for the Royal Fireworks. Water Music Suite N. for orchestra in F major, HWV 348. 1. No. 1 Overture, No. 2 Adagio e staccato.

Suite No. 1 In F Major, HWV 348.

Exclusively for Prime members. Sample this album Artist (Sample). Suffice it to say the Water Music is played with exquisite smoothness while the Fireworks Music is loaded with punch and percussion. The coupling of the two and the Naxos price make this album almost impossible to beat.

Much has been made of the fast speeds chosen for this Canadian period instrument ensemble’s recording of Handel’s Water Music and Fireworks suites. True, it proceeds at a fair lick, but the entire album is still two minutes less than a 1998 BMG recording by Nicholas McGegan and the humble, non-specialist Scottish Chamber Orchestra, who play with more dynamic light and shade, antiphonal strings awareness and exaggerated rhythms than the Aradia Ensemble.

Aradia Ensemble Kevin Mallon (conductor). George Frideric Handel - Music for the Royal Fireworks (Suite), HWV 351. George Frideric Handel - Water Music Suite No. 2 in D major, HWV 349. 3 in G major, HWV 350.

George Frideric Handel Composer. Kevin Mallon Conductor. Music for the Royal Fireworks. George Frideric Handel Composer. Author: David Vickers. Handel Music for the Royal Fireworks; Water Music. Mallon’s sense of an attractive flowing pulse in the music carries through to the Music for the Royal Fireworks. The Ouverture has crisp, articulate phrasing, in which important details are stressed and then shade away to allow the next musical detail to come to the fore. The zesty Aradia Ensemble never succumb to monotonous tub-thumping. Naxos is wrong to claim that this is the first recording of ‘La paix’ to feature a transverse flute (Michel Piguet used seven Baroque flutes in a 1975 recording only ever issued on LP, and perhaps there are others).

Conductor: Kevin Mallon. George frideric handel. Conductor: Kevin Mallon. They were composed, respectively, for royal water parties on the River Thames in August 1715 and July 1717, and to celebrate the Peace of Aix-la-Chapelle in 1749, with a fireworks display in Green Park, London.
