rating: 5 QuoteA "must have" for anyone who likes classical musicQuote
Of all the classical CDs in my collection, this two-CD set is my absolute favorite. The composition is superb, the performance is flawless and the recording is as close as you can get to actually being at a live performance. This CD set might cost a little more than one by lesser known musicians/conductor but the difference in what you hear is worth every penny. September 13, 2008

rating: 5 QuoteTerrific - Concerto No. 4 Unfairly Overlooked!Quote
Not having been familiar with Corelli (or concerto grosso) before some recent musical excavation, I found this CD compelling. Everyone is bound to have their favorites among the concerto and most seem to opt for number 8, but I want to put in a plug for number 4 which I found lively and inspiring, something I could (and did) listen to over and over. The music is terrifically done - clearly and sharply played, crisp sound and enjoyable. Well worth the investment for fans of Corelli, baroque or the concerto grosso. November 5, 2007

As a person with a passion for music, especially classical, this CD is one the prettiest and the best. March 24, 2007

rating: 5 QuoteCorelli's famous Concerti by my favorite period instrument orchestra and conductorQuote
Trevor Pinnock's recording of Corelli's Op. 6 Concerti grossi will not be to all tastes. Those raised on traditional instrument recordings by such as Max Goberman/Vienna Sinfonietta (Odyssey LPs, circulated in the 1970s) or Paul Angerer/Southwest German Chamber Orchestra (Vox) may not like the clipped articulation and fast tempos Pinnock uses. But the English Concert is a joy to hear: and can THEY PLAY! The allegros sizzle with joy and tension (in the minor key movements) and I find myself unable to resist conducting myself to the rhythmic patterns they generate. I think Corelli would be pleased, and I doubt he ever heard this good a performance of his Opus 6 Concertos.

Concerto 8, subtitled "Christmas" may be the most famous Op. 6 Concerto. Pinnock's way with it may seem superficial, and tempos are faster than what I'm used to in this work. But I'm used to recordings of I Musici (Philips), Angerer (Vox), and Shepherd/Cantilena (Chandos). The closing "Pastorale" doesn't seem to have enough time to breathe, but Pinnock is more sensitive to the Baroque performance practice principles where Siciliana and Pastorale movements are played more quickly than 20th century conductors led them, adhering to more Romanticized performance practice.

As a set, I give this high marks, and there is alot of energy and joy without slighting Corelli's music. The recorded sound is also very good, and the strings have a full, rich sound, even with no vibrato and period instruments. November 11, 2005

The _Christmas Concerto_ (Opus 6 Number 8) is the best on the CD! If you like Vivaldi's "Four Seasons" or the Bach "Double" but have never heard Corelli's Christmas Concerto, I think you will like it very much. November 5, 2005
