Geminiani Concerti Grossi Opus 7 Academy of St. Martin in the Fields (1983, ASV)

Disc 6 of the big 50 disc box set from the 60th Anniversary of The Academy. Got it on shuffle. Prefer the concerti jumble. Not sure if each of the individual concertos are profoundly different, in any case.

This particular disc set always brings to mind Dave Hurwitz story about how he fooled the Geminiani snobs in his old record shop with Telemann or someone and how they left with smug approval of a completely different composer. Classic review.
