Recordings
There are many recordings. The Music for the Royal Fireworks, which was also written for outdoor performance, is often paired with the Water Music on recordings. Together, these works constitute Handel's most famous music for what we would now consider the orchestra. Older recordings tend to use arrangements of Handel's score for the modern orchestra, for example the arrangements by Hamilton Harty and Leopold Stokowski. More recent recordings tend to use historically informed performance methods appropriate for baroque music and often use authentic instruments.
