En 1715, le roi George Ier organisa pour sa Cour un
divertissement sur la Tamise. C'est pour cette occasion que Haendel composa la
Water Musick, son oeuvre la plus populaire aujourd'hui. Cette représentation
musicale de tous les aspects de la vie dans l'Angleterre d'alors incarna
bientôt la quintessence du goût et de l'esprit britannique. Pas étonnant que
ce florilège, destiné avant tout à plaire, ait scellé la réconciliation du
compositeur avec son roi !Ce titre est paru pour la première fois en 1988.
Amazon.ca Nicholas McGegan's period-instrument account of the complete Water
Music is informed, vibrant, and brilliantly recorded--a wonderful argument for
authenticity. As an interpretation it ranks second to none, conveying the
dances in a spritely, vivacious manner. The ensemble, consisting mostly of
American players, is not quite as brilliant as the London bands that have
dominated the period scene until recently. But while there are moments where
the execution is just a bit under par (the oboes, for example, get a little
scrappy in places), there can scarcely be any complaints about Lowell Greer's
superb work as first horn. Listening to the disc is like sitting in on a
performance; the experience is one of music from start to finish. The
recording is intimate, a bit dry but with just enough ambience to give life to
the sound, and very clear. --Ted Libbey --This text refers to an alternate
