Certainly! My favorite is the Lark Quartet with Jean-Louis LeRoux conducting
the San Francisco Ballet Orchestra on Arabesque Z6723-2. I don't know about
current availability.

American String Quartet with Gerard Schwarz/New York Chamber Symphony on
Nonesuch 9 79145-2 is pretty good, too, as is Fred Sherry String Quartet with
Robert Craft conducting on Naxos 8.557520

The world premiere is available, in execrable sound and with some gaps:
Kolisch Quartet, Otto Klemperer/Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra on
Archiphon ARC-114/115. An historical document only.

Thanks, Matthew!

So what do you think about Händel with xylophone, glockenspiel and
string playing techniques unknown in Baroque?

No thoughts about what Matthew might think. But I must say that I
wonder whether if Leopold Stokowski had done the orchestral things you
cite and that Schoenberg did, people might not be shrieking for
Stokowski's hide for "bad taste."

As am I. I've collected way too many recordings of it. I regret to
recall, though, that I've sometimes been very rude to acquaintances
who tried to support my liking for it by saying that it was a great
orchestration that sounded just like authentic Brahms. To which the
only reply has to be "Are you out of your ****ing mind??"

(A conductor colleague in a neighboring office is also extremely fond
of it. And coincidentally, we both studied the B-S PQ in doctoral
seminars at different institutions.)

I also vastly enjoy Bach-Schoenberg, Handel-Schoenberg, Monn-
Schoenberg, Handel-Mozart, Gluck-Strauss, Mozart-Strauss, Mussorgsky-
Rimsky, Mussorgsky-Ravel, Rossini-Britten, Purcell-Britten, Sullivan-
Mackerras, you name it. Hearing one great musical mind through the
ears of another is great fun.

So you find Stokowski's arrangements appalling?
