Water Music was famously played on a 1717 royal excursion on the Thames River: while King George I’s party traveled on one boat, a group of musicians performed the piece on a nearby boat. Music for the Royal Fireworks was commissioned by King George II to celebrate the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle, which marked the end of the War of Austrian Succession. Evidently the fireworks display didn’t go well at the 1749 event that celebrated the signing, but the musical performance was a success. The Catalan conductor and performer Jordi Savall does wonders with Water Music on this 1993 recording.
