The Masterworks (Brilliant Classics compilation)
~ Release by George Frideric Handel (see all versions of this release, 1 available)
Annotation
note. This jewel boxed compilation and the 2004 edition do not use the same recordings for all works.
Farringdons on the South Bank and assorted Covent Garden retailers routinely sold the individual parts of this collection so they should probably be listed separately too.
