There is certainly no shortage of recordings of Handel's Water Music, divided into its three familiar but possibly inauthentic suites, and Royal Fireworks Music. Equally certainly, the B'Rock Orchestra has what it takes to stand out from the crowd; this is a bold and innovative interpretation of these repertory standards, and it made classical best-seller lists in the summer of 2023. Whether listeners will buy the innovations offered here by B'Rock and conductor Dmitry Sinkovsky, stepping in for the somewhat less outré René Jacobs on the orchestra's return to the PentaTone label, will likely be a matter of personal taste. Consider the tempos, fast throughout, and in places startlingly so. There is little justification, in the score or anywhere else, for the speed-up of the second strain the Gigue of the Suite No. 3, HWV 350. Another drastic move on B'Rock's part is the addition of percussion in several movements of the Water Music; given that Handel later notated percussion in the Royal Fireworks Music, he could have done so here if he had wanted to. Yet both of these devices add excitement and intensity to the music, and the general energy level is high. Elsewhere there are embellishments on repeats, some pleasantly squawky period brass, and all kinds of unusual phrasing. Given all the changes in what constitutes a "typical" performance of these Handel outdoor standards, it is entirely possible that this one will set a pattern. It is hardly a done deal, however.
