About this product

Ultimate Baroque: The Essential Masterpieces is a five-CD compilation box issued by Decca in the United Kingdom in October 2006 under catalogue number 475 8073.[2][3] Its 92 tracks, about 5 hours 52 minutes of music, are dominated by Vivaldi, Bach and Handel: The Four Seasons, Handel's Water Music and Music for the Royal Fireworks, Bach's four orchestral suites, and favourites such as Pachelbel's Canon and the Albinoni Adagio, with guitar and lute concertos on the fifth disc.[2][1] Discogs credits I Musici, the Academy of St Martin in the Fields, the English Chamber Orchestra and the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra, with conductors including Sir Neville Marriner, Raymond Leppard and Karl Münchinger.[3] Decca's US online store lists the set.[1]

More about this product

Coverage & research gaps (8)

Coverage measures the evidence recorded here. It does not rate the product.

  • Identity: 3 / 3 · Name, brand and classification recorded
  • Release details: 5 / 5 · Profile fields recorded: artists, label, media, released, catalogue_number. Missing fields may require research or an applicability note.
  • tracks evidence: 92 / 92 · Recorded rows linked to source evidence; does not measure whether the list is complete
  • Context: 1 / 1 · Evidence groups assigned to a researched label, edition or analysis
  • Label photographs: 0 / 1 · Researched contexts with an assigned photograph
  • Specifications: 0 / 3 · Recorded specifications mapped to comparable property keys
  • identity · disputed: MusicBrainz dates the UK release 2006-10-06; a search snippet for the Presto Music listing gives 8 October 2006, but that page could not be fetched (HTTP 403), so the MusicBrainz date is used
  • identity · unknown: MusicBrainz also holds a digital-media release (30659c44, worldwide, 2006-10-02, label Decca Music Group) carrying the same barcode; it is treated as the download edition of this album, not as a second physical article
  • markets · unknown: UK retailers found by search (Europadisc, Presto Music) answered HTTP 403 to the fetch, so GB is not listed in country_of_sale despite the UK release event
  • relationships · unknown: No back-cover photo was read and Discogs lists no companies for this release, so record company, copyright holders, pressing plant and the licensee of GS1 prefix 0028947 are not stated
  • media · not_researched: Per-track performer credits and recording dates were not transcribed; Discogs gives release-level credits only
  • evidence · unknown: Evidence observation date is not recorded.
  • images · not_researched: No product photographs recorded.
  • schema · schema_gap: Some specifications retain source labels without comparable property keys.
