Bach: Overtures Bwv 10661068 (The Original Source Series) [LP] (180 Gram)

The/Trevor Pinnock English Concert - Bach: Overtures Bwv 10661068 (The Original Source Series) [LP] (180 Gram)

Bach’s Overtures (or "Orchestral Suites”) are joyful suites of dance movements. The two recorded here, No.1 and No. 3, are especially flamboyant works of Baroque splendor, while also featuring the famous "Air” (in Suite No. 3), a peaceful piece of utter beauty and serenity. Hardly any ensemble has influenced our listening attitudes to "early music” as much as "The English Concert,” which came into being over 50 years ago. The founder and long-time conductor Trevor Pinnock led the musicians with an articulate tone from the harpsichord and thus formed the sound from the heart of the ensemble. The Original Source Series from DG features celebrated 4-track recordings from the ‘70s reissued on vinyl. Remastered by the renowned Berlin-based Emil Berliner Studios using 100% pure analogue techniques to create versions of the highest possible audio quality. Produced on 180g vinyl by Optimal and housed in deluxe gatefold editions, featuring additional photos and/or recording documentation. Track Listing 1.J.S.
