I've always thought that Leppard's 60s recordings of baroque music with
groups like the English Chamber Orchestra are classics, regardless of the
instruments used.  I'm especially fond of his Water Music, and the Concerti
"a due cori".

One set of Leppard's recordings I've not heard before however, are his
arrangments (if they are considered that) of the Monteverdi Madrigals of
War and Love.  Same goes for his version of Poppea.  Anybody heard these,
and is able to compare them with more recent recordings by period groups?
