Reynolds · Langridge · Howell · Marriner Decca Neville Marriners 1976 account of the Covent Garden version of the score 1743 with the Academy and Chorus of St Martin-in-the-Fields and soloists Elly Ameling Anna Reynolds Philip Langridge and Gwynne Howell is positively plush-sounding but nicely animated Id love to have this kind of string tone for say the Dvor k Serenade but for Handel it may be just a bit much --Ted Libbey
