I saw this 3 CD set at Tower records. The clips sound incredible. It's
not HIP, but it sure is cool. Very rich Handel (lower in cholesterol than
Beecham, to be sure) and great singing. That recording is on ORFEO D'OR.
I also saw it used (but sealed), but it is not the same label. It seems to
be an older release of the same recording, but I can't make out the label
-- it's imported by ALLEGRO. While the Orfeo is red, the other one is
yellow.
I plan on getting the older one because it is half the price. My question
is -- is there something much better about the ORFEO CD set, or will I be
fine with the older one?
