Thanks for the recommendation 🌺 My favourite modern recording is the 2009 ABC Classics with the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra conducted by Paul Dyer 👍🏼
I learned these great works via Leppard and the ECO on Philips and still find them tremendously satisfying as vivid realizations of the sensuous beauty, wit and dazzling invention of Op.6.
Lovers of classical music begin in different places. My earliest enthusiasms were engendered by Bach and Handel, and Baroque music has been a kind of "frame of reference" for me ever since. Consequently by the time I reached middle age I had heard nearly every recording extant of Handel's Opus 6, though six versions remain in my colletction: Leppard, Marriner, Menuhin, Scherchen, Pinnock and Adolf Busch (if you've never heard the latter, you are in for a treat), I really don't have a favorite among these; it all depends on my mood, though the Busch recording is very special indeed. Unfortunately, I am not acquainted with the Turovsky recording, but i will take your ringing endorsement as an incentive to get to know it. Many thanks.
Hi dear dave.i know the commente is not written in the right place,im kind of a computer disabled..sorry. In my honest and humble opinion,i think michael haydn , deserves some talk..he was always shadowed by his brother and ignored,by the public and the glorious music labeles..each time i listen to a piece of music by him,i receive alot of joy and true vitality. Thanks.
I bonded with these ( for me) indispensable concerti as a pimply teenager in that hormonally fuelled emotional maelstrom that many of us go through at that age. I've always found them to have an incredibly rich emotional range, vigorous, yearning, exultant, lamenting, playful, disparing. It's easy to miss the emotional variety in Baroque music especially if it's portrayed as lean and scrawny and formulaic. Thank you for this great recommendation. How about Dave's Faves Boccherini?
@@DavesClassicalGuide It will be well worth waiting for I'm sure. I'm currently immersed in the 12 glorious cello concertos Geringas version. What a treat!
Your talks have got me thinking about the change from Baroque (rhetorical) to Classical (dramatic) style. It stands to reason, then, that the concerti grossi would be rather varied in structure, whereas the Classical aim called for a more explicit formula toward its end. I might be off a bit, but it seems somewhat helpful to think of it this way.

He's a very good composer and I will talk about him--I just can't do it all at once!

Sure, makes sense to me.
Handel's Opus 6 -- because you can't listen to an unending loop of even Bach's Brandenburg Concertos.
