EMI's collection 100 Best Baroque includes a generous 460 minutes of some of the most familiar works or movements from works written during the Baroque era. There is a good mix of genres, including works for orchestra, chorus, chamber ensemble, voice, and keyboard. The album is neatly organized by nationality, with composers representing England, Italy, France, Spain, and Germany. Drawn from EMI's deep archive, the performances are top of the line, featuring musicians outstanding in their fields, including Gustav Leonhardt, Jordi Savall, Andrew Parrott, Christophe Rousset, Monica Huggett, Sharon Isbin, Christian Tetzlaff, David Daniels, and Patricia Petibon. The sound is clean and clear throughout. ~ Stephen Eddins
