I'm a professional trumpet player but i can only dream of being able to play at this level. It's just astounding!

[@RoberttAvro]

"A Grand Overture of Warlike Instruments" as Handel's masterpiece was presented at the time. After all the King had specifically said..."no fiddles." On that first performance he used 24 oboes, 12 bassoons, 9 horns, 9 trumpets and 3 drums. He added the strings later for the next performance of the work at his charity concert for the Foundling Hospital on May 27th, 1749.

[@micheltanaka2420]

Are you saying subsequent performances were... fiddly? 😁😁😁😁😁

[@lourdesfs]

[@CanalPisco]

Great sound; Amazing The woods (oboe and basson) sound magnific. I loved the horns

[@cohort075]

I first heard the music for the Royal Fireworks when I was 8 back in the 60’s, and it was a revelation to a young man who had grown up with the Beetles etc, I could not believe what I was hearing, and started a lifetime love affair with Baroque music, and especially George Frideric Handel. I still have the record to this day.

[@bb1457]

Very much agree

[@violjohn]

Similar for me; still think he is underrated even though he is so popular now!

[@user-bl5yi4uw6j]

Amazing! I had a similar epiphany when I was 8 years old. I heard a performance of Messiah, and that was that. I was hooked. I love the Baroque, and Händel is THE absolute Titan of not only the Baroque but of Music.

[@helinajokinen5514]

Baroque music is wonderful... Handel especially 💙🎶

[@desallen2174]

As fresh today, as when Handel wrote it 249 years ago. Can't say that about many modern artists.

I never heard Handel in this wonderful shiny way. The old/original instruments are of course one building brick... the orchestra, the conductor... Well done !

[@maximilienbrenard553]

Je ne connaissais pas non plus Ce morceau. Ni trois instruments . Superbe !

[@thephantomeagle2]

Hearing Handel on period instruments is so inspiring. Amazing rendition. I can’t help but notice that the bows for strings are baroque as well.

[@alekssurikov9796]

Очень потрясён этой музыкой, слышал Генделя не раз и думал, что знал эту мелодию, но теперь знаю, что знаю мало. Великолепно и по-королевски ярко! Все на своем месте и в свое время! -талант на-лицо!

[@evconprim4639]

What an all-encompassing soul-stirring, goose-bump inducing feast for the ears! I listen to this at least once a week, best enjoyed with eyes closed, at loudest volume, reclining in my car with the windows rolled up. Every musical section played alone would fall short, but in convergent succession, trading off the spotlight, the crisp trills of the trumpets, steady notes of the horns, the smooth fluidity of the strings, the tinkly harpsichord, steady undernotes of the tenor and bass cellos, peppy joining of the woodwinds, commanding entrance of the drums, all swelling to a great emotion-filled crescendo that doesn't get much better than at 13:06 ("La Rejouissance"). The music has life of its own. Another ethereal experience brought to you, courtesy of western civilization and the genius of George Frederic Handel. There is little more you could hear that rivals the majesty of this piece. Bravo, brava, bravissimo!! I

[@TheEnglishconcert]

Wow! Thank you for such an amazing comment. So delighted to read this is bringing you so much enjoyment! :-)

[@kathrynwallenstein451]

The music is magnificent; the musicians are beautiful, both their playing and their faces; their engagement and their organicity, their unanimity. Amen !

The natural horns and trumpets are not only beautiful to look at but also sound superb.

[@gangflow9139]

These are not natural trumpets

[@billymeyer99]

@@gangflow9139 not even the horns? Anyway they are very sculptural and sound amazing

[@gangflow9139]

@@billymeyer99I’m not sure if they have holes or not. It seems like they might have at least one under the right thumb, but I don’t know enough about horns. Anyway, the trumpets have holes, they are definitely modern instruments. But I agree with you: it sounds great!

[@TheMovieCreator]

@@gangflow9139 A lot of the horns and trumpets available at Händels time were indeed made with holes for adjusting intonation a little bit. This is to make some of the pitches in the "Natural" harmonic series more in tune with the common diatonic scale. In short, using the holes right will make previously unusable "harsh" overtones sound passable enough to be used. Still not enough for actually changing the tones in the horn, so free chromatic play is completely off the table - hence the need for multiple tuning-loops!

[@kevwang0712]

@@TheMovieCreator True, but these did not serve the same function as the vent holes used in modern-day baroque trumpets (as opposed to natural trumpets that have no vent holes at all). Modern day vent holes are bored at specific places on the tube where nodes in the standing wave form, when the finger is released, nodes will not be able to form at those locations, which means that certain harmonics are unable to be played, thus making playing easier while also changing the nature of the harmonic series that can be played.

You guys sure aced that. I really do think that was the best performance of the work I have ever heard. I have heard a lot!

Of course, a truly authentic rendition would have the entire stage go up in flames with fireworks exploding in all directions. Which is, in fact exactly what happened.

Magnífica musica de Handel, parabéns a toda orquestra, de Salvador na Bahia Brasil envio votos de longa vida a música barroca.

Terrific playing of Handel. How they can play those brass instruments so well is just amazing. Merrowyn

Brilliant!

[@catherinejones9396]

This suite and the Water Music suite have always been memorable for me. I heard them at my aunt's house first in the late forties when I was about seven, and enjoyed them both so much my poor father had to buy me records of both for Christmas. Buying Handel records back then, immediately post WW2 in Australia was no easy task, but bless him he found them. Thanks for this terrific download with the old instruments in force and so very well played too.

A grand performance that lifts an old soul.

[@jemerlia]

Wonderful! No diminution in spirit from the Archiv recording of decades ago. Further words are incapable of meaningfully describing this performance. From a general perspective, an oasis of enlightenment in a World Hell bent on descent into neolithic pandemonium and existentially threatening conflict.

[@adenekanadekunle6305]

This is a near perfect rendition of one of the greatest soul-inspiring compositions by G. F. Handel. Indeed, the composition proved to be fireworks with tangential affiliations to our souls and spirits.

Excelente. Los instrumentos de época eran más difíciles de hacer sonar bien, particularmente los bronces

[@63Anul]

¿Los instrumentos de qué época? Las trompetas naturales con agujeros son un invento-chapuza del s. XX, para compensar la ignorancia sobre aspectos de la trompeta natural del barroco (fundamentalmente, por lo que toca a la boquilla adecuada). Pero que hagan lo mismo con las trompas, eso sí que no tiene ninguna justificación. Estos ingleses siguen en 1980.

[@sarahsnowe]

What is the name of those very curly horns three members are playing?

[@FredsBands]

natural horns (with vents)

[@jasonsummit1885]

Had no idea that baroque French horns were vented, I knew there were vented trumpets.

[@daviddavenport9350]

There is no written part for the side drum in the Ouverture.....but it does not discount that the drummers of the period would not have improvised a part....
