Eternal Baroque

I don't normally write reviews, even for great products (as this album is). Nevertheless, I must point out that one of the tracks is incorrectly titled. Track #7, "Ode for St. Cecilia's Day, HWV 76: March" by Dorothee Mields, is the one in question. While still composed by George Frideric Handel, it should actually be the solo "When Thou tookest upon Thee to deliver Man" from Handel's "Dettingen Te Deum in A major." Chris Dixon is the bass soloist and Wolfgang Helbich conducts the Concerto Polacco. The track itself is very beautiful, just incorrectly named. I discovered this incongruity because I heard lyrics (and voice, for that matter) in a track titled "March."

The rest of the sampler is excellent, and I highly recommend you download this free album. It provides a broad selection of the Baroque era while not exhibiting the usual pieces everyone knows (e.g., Bach's "Air" from his third orchestral suite, or one of Vivaldi's four seasons).Get more detail about Eternal Baroque.
