Few conductors have done more for the early music revival than Sir John Eliot Gardiner. Today's recording of Handel's Water Music proves why. "Full of vitality and colour. This is period-instrument playing at its most stimulating and the sound-picture is vivid and clear", says the Penguin Guide to Classical Music. It's just the right approach for this well loved set of light orchestral movements, premiered on a barge in the summer of 1717 after King George I requested a concert on the River Thames.
