Product Notes

In these performances from a virtuoso German ensemble hailing from Bach's own part of the world and masterminded by a superb trumpeter-turned-conductor who well understands the exuberant, public character of these suites, their occasional purposes, for all that in such moments as the famous Air from the G major Suite, No.3, they appear to take on a more confiding aspect, drawing the listener in before dispelling the tension with another jolly minuet or charming sarabande. This generously filled CD presents the complete Orchestral Suites (Overtures) by J.S. Bach. Bach's Suites count among his most popular and most frequently performed works, they are quintessential Bach: majestic, noble, tender and full of energy. They contain some of Bach's evergreens: the Air from the 3rd Suite and the Badinerie from the 2nd Suite. Played by the Virtuosi Saxoniae conducted by trumpetist/conductor Ludwig Güttler, modern instruments in Historically Informed Performance Practice, the best of both worlds.
