Academy of St. Martin-In-The-Fields
Conducted by Iona Brown

Michala Petri adds her characteristic spright to this recording and the largos are pleasant as well. The concerto in F includes a bassoon part which adds bottom to the works on this CD as a contra to the higher-pitched recorder. I prefer original instruments but to me the combination of Michala Petri on the recorder and Iona Brown conducting here will leave even original-instrument buffs well satisfied. The Philips recording quality on this CD is near flawless as well-- there is a nice balance between the woodwinds on the one hand and the strings and the occassional harpsichord on the other. Overall quite a worthwhile and enjoyable addition to one's baroque-period collection.
