Handel - Royal Fireworks - mvt 1 - Pinnock

[paradoxicus]

Sinceramente.Creo que se trata de una interpretación de referencia.Sir Trevor Pinnock,es verdad que no defrauda ninguna expectativa.

También es una joya la versión de Le Conciert Spiritual bajo la dirección de Hervé Niquet,pero creo que no está en "youtube".

One of the best version, also the hardest to play-->C# Maj...but sounds like Heaven

[goncalocurto]

@jtss90 its not C# major, its also D major, but baroque tuning is 415Hz, instead of the common 440Hz, so it sounds almost half-tone lower

[markab26]

love this version

[AnDyNeWbUrY09]

Hey, due you perhaps know were i can get the score for this, free ?

[jtss90]

Nowhere man, I wrote by myself the first 10 secs of the song, score for complete symhponic orchestra-->took almost1week...but sounds like nothing else...

Que música e interpretação maravilhosas

geniais! parabens a Haendel e a orquesta de instrumentos de época do T Pinnock !

[FrederikVanHolland]

Een prachtig muziekstuk. Heel mooi uitgevoerd. Echt royal!

[galkap]

muy buena interpretación... con su ritmo... Pinnock no defrauda...

This performance is exactly as King George II would have liked it. At first he was not very pleased with Handel's musical news, but when he heard that Handel would write the firework music in "military-style" with no strings attached at all he was very enthusiastic. And so am I today! Fantastic music by a fantastic composer !

[Talbot6832]

He was the last British monarch to lead his men into battle (Battle of Dettingen). He kinda gets dabs.

[GoFeri]

I thought it was King George II himself who ordered the music this way. Handel initally didn't like the idea of no strings attached but eventually he made a "compromise deal" with the king. At least that's what I read in an interview with Robert King a couple of years ago.

[TheCrazyCello]

@GoFeri Yeah - KGII only wanted "warlike instruments". Handel managed to get oboes and bassoons added to the list, but KGII drew the line at strings. Didn't stop Handel writing "Violin I" under "Hautboy I" etc. and selling it as string music though...

[Drecksbursche]

Bjutifull

[adalbero]

too fast

[indigoblue555]

to adalbero - totally agree -

I enjoyed it but I feel it slower and regal -

respectfully talking as T.Pinnock is a great

baroque performer overall besides being a well known harpsichordist.

[LaurentJerry]

Une des meilleures versions que je connaisse ! Presque aussi bonne que celle dirigée par Pierre Boulez !

[griffith5000]

i love those conducted by trevor pinnock lol

[itjioe]

Excellent, love the brash sound of those baroque trumpets and horns!

[MercifulMe]

What about the bassoons and oboes :P

[HerrWarja]

You can clearly hear them! ;-)

[MercifulMe]

Of course.

[HerrWarja]

Hehe, I refered to the oboes and basoons ;-)

[Turkamel]

Non plus ultra
