		Badinage [Classical] RATING:

One of the difficulties with Handel is that, in the wrong hands his music can sound pompous, over formal and even dull, his musicality repressed in favour of courtly mannerisms. Thankfully none of this applies to this performance by Badinage. In their hands, the music relaxes and audibly starts to have fun. The solo flute, while remaining fiercely accurate - there''s no vulgar, out of place romanticism or rubato here - is full of life, gently eking out all sorts of pleasures from Handel''s elegant but still spirited melodies, a style matched and complemented by the playful but sharp accompanying continuo. Exemplary.

	Biography Vivaldi''s influence North of The Alps is clearly seen with the two keyboard transcriptions of violin concertos by J. S. Bach and his contemporary J. G. Walther. Bach transcribed ten of Vivaldi''s string concertos; three for organ, six for harpsichord and organ for four harpsichords and strings. Walther was the organist at Weimar where he met Bach and is perhaps best remembered for his musical dictionary Musicalisches Lexicon which he published in 1732.
