I liked Pinnock's Brandenburg's.
But Pinnock's "Ode to St Cecilia" with Felicity Lott? Out of my cold dead hands.

On a Barclay-Crocker open-reel tape. I do admit to liking certain things about it. Hard tympani sticks is one thing we can thank the HIP movement for! ;-)

. . . I've been meaning for years to get a more traditional recording of the Ode. There's one on Naxos which I can presumably check out on Classics Online - at least I think it's a traditional performance. My wife generally likes Handel, but she thinks that "The Trumpet's Loud Clangor Excites us to Arms" (my favorite part of the Ode) is lame - especially when it gets to "the double double double beat. . . " section. ;-)
