This is one of Handel's most inspired and invigorating works. Relatively short (50 minutes), it is an ode to music itself, with arias and choruses in praise of the attributes of various instruments, from the "trumpet's loud clangor" to the "soft complaining flute", of course featuring solos for those players. It also has one of Handel's most rousing final choruses, depicting the end of the world, when "music shall untune the sky".
Harnoncourt's is a wonderfully vivid performance. Musical characterization has always been Harnoncourt's strong suit, and it pays dividends here. The playing and singing are first rate, and the recording is excellent. There are a couple of Harnoncourt mannerisms (such as a short final note), but nothing that seriously detracts from a splendid overall experience.
