IIRC, Boulez and the New Yorkers had a performance of Handel's Water Music
on Columbia way back when.  I'm sure a search via one of the CD retailers
linked through Classical Net (shameless plug) might show if it has been
reissued as a Sony CD.  I don't have the recording myself, so I can't
comment on the performance, but will take your word for it:-)

But don't be too shocked at the idea....Boulez even had even conducted
some Baroque recordings available on Nonesuch back in the LP heydays of
that label.
