Among all the recordings of Handel's Water Music, this is for me the most uplifting. Yes, it is on modern instruments. Yes, it was recorded in 1962, but if you can get hold of this on CD you'll find the sound as wonderful or better then any modern recording. August Wenzinger and his orchestra seem to me to have the measure of Handel's music completely. Tempos are just right and you can almost feel the fun these people are having with it.

The Music for the Royal Fireworks (HWV 351) is a suite in D major for wind instruments composed by George Frideric Handel in 1749 under contract of George II of Great Britain for the fireworks in London's Green Park on 27 April 1749. The music celebrates the end of the War of the Austrian Succession and the signing of the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle (Aachen) in 1748. The work was very popular when first performed and following Handel's death. Mozart called the work a "spectacle of English pride and joy".
