Handel Water Music - best CD? - Performance Recording

Am looking to purchase a CD or set containing the aforementioned works of Handel. Although I've been searching quite extensively I have found little information or reviews… and there are a VAST number of recordings to choose from.

At current, I am gravitating towards newer recordings, the assumption being that these will offer better sound (recording quality). I know that this is far from conclusive and lacks the all-important consideration of performance/acoustic qualities (of venue).

Your recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Mike

I want to post a rare recording by Collegium Aureum under EMI release (originally Deutsche Harmonia Mundi's copyright). It is also on historic instruments. Passionate interpretation and splendid coloring.

Also, other suggested Collegium Aureum recording:

1. Vivaldi's OP. 8 No.1 - 12 (No.1 - No.4 known as The Four Seasons)

2. Handel's Concerti Grossi, OP. 6

I am not affiliated with Collegium Aureum at all.

Happy listening.
