"Prior to this 3-CD set, I had owned an old LP recording of the complete Handel Organ Concerti. What a treat this performance is! I'm a fan of the English Consort with Trevor Pinnock, so I wasn't surprised that I enjoyed this recording.
These are fun pieces that any baroque lover would enjoy.
A 3-CD set for under $25 was quite a bargain.

Superb Performance and musical Work

"G.F. Haendel is mostly known for his masterly written great vocal works, his instrumental work being less known for the wider public, except for Music for Royal Fireworks and Water Music. Though not an expert on classical music, I think this trio would give almost every listener a sheer joy (I, Personally, enjoy listening to all 3 cd's one by one, when I have the time), for one gets a great performance, as he would usually do when it comes to the English Concert, of all of Haendel's Organ Concertos for a great price (about 7$ a disc)."

"Excellent sound reproduction.
Superb performance.
Period orchestral instruments plus ancient pipe organs blend for a sound much like Handel must have heard."
Great into

"The complete Organ Concertos are a great way for folks to dig into some of the deeper Handel tracks that aren't the Messiah or Water Music. Explore the diversity Handel has to offer.
Additoinally, this makes a great addition to any classical collection particulary those favoring organ works. Don't expect however another Bach collection. Handel's organ concertos are a nice blend of orchestral and organ music."

"These are superbly recorded, and Simon Preston as always has given a marvelous performance. The restored organs enhance the enjoyment. A must for any organ or Handel fan."
