Average Rating: Rating: - Pomp and Glory I adore this cd, it is one of my favorites. When you listen to this you can actually see a huge hall filled with richly dressed men and woman dancing. You can see their jewelry glisten ,see the hundreds of flickering candles, the tables laid with food, servants running to and fro, a band playing. This cd is a time portal! Rating: - Hitherto unknown to me I am especially fond of baroque style classical. Avison was, prior to my Christmas purchase of this set, unknown to me. I like these very much. More than Bach? Mozart? Telemann? Hard to say, inasmuch as I have decades of familiarity with them. As well? Absolutely. Rating: - A Fine Baroque Release (from a relatively unknown composer) Hyperion is a great label for unearthing little-known Baroque gems, and Roy Goodman (with his Brandenburg Consort) comes through again with their recording of Charles Avison's 12 Concerti Grossi (1744). Avison, a fine English composer, based his concertos on sonatas by Domenico Scarlatti (another Baroque composer). But Avison was by no means a plagerist. It wasn't uncommon for Baroque composers to build upon or rearrange the works of their contemporaries (Bach did this with some of Vivaldi's compositions). Here, Avison took Scarlatti's musical ideas and 'ran with them,' so to speak. The result: beautiful music that embodies the Baroque period. These 12 concertos are stately and elegant, and rank right up there with the works of Bach, Handel, and Vivaldi. Unfortunately, this 2-disc set is also expensive, so unless you love Baroque music, I'd focus on Bach, Vivaldi, etc., before purchasing these discs. But if you're interested in rounding out your Baroque collection, I would definitely recommend this exceptional recording.
