Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Jean-Claude Malgoire's performances of these delightful works belong to the "rough and ready" school of original instrument technique. As an interpreter, he has been superseded by any number of French Baroque specialty groups, and his Handel concerti grossi really aren't competitive, even at the super budget price. There's simply too much scrappy string playing, and not particular interpretive insight. Pass on this one. --David Hurwitz
