I haven't a set of these - what do you recommend? Doesn't have to be brisk tempi - just something faster than a horse and cart. HIP or modern.

Or simply not good enough. Koopman's set on Erato - all of them on 3 discs, or Opp. 4 and 7 on two - are unsurpassed.

Nicholson (sp?) and the Brandenburg Consort has gotten some praise here too, though I'm not sure how it ranks with the likes of Koopman or Pinnock (the latter alone which I own).

Bigger, more powerful and incisive sounding than Koopman's (I often find the orchestral participation in Koopman's rather limp), better recorded and perhaps a bit less square than Pinnock's.

Tachezi/Harnoncourt, unless you want something bigger and less articulate than a chamber organ....

Pinnock (DG) is reliable throughout but a bit staid. Tachezi with Harnoncourt (Teldec) is sometimes exciting and sometimes dull. Koopman (Erato) is nicely bouncy but underplays darker moments.
All are good (playing somewhat differing ediotions) but do not expect a revelation.

Get the Nicholson/Goodman set on Hyperion.
Great sound and the organ used was one that Handel played on frequently.
