“The Freiburg orchestra’s CD offers no star soloist, but doesn’t need one in Bach’s four orchestral suites, where the entire ensemble is the soloist. The touchstone of these performances is their joie de vivre: a lively pace, a rhythmic verve, a stylistic sleight-of-hand that keeps this music fresh and the listener on his/her toes.” Financial Times, 7th January 2012 *****
Called “Ouvertüren” in Germany, because they began with a large-scale overture à la française, Bach’s 'Suites for orchestra' offer a unique synthesis of the French and the Italian styles. The Leipzig Cantor did not content himself with a mere set of amiable dances for his Collegium Musicum: he revived the genre in his own manner, accenting the contrasts, refining the orchestration, and introducing a hitherto unknown contrapuntal element.
Two centuries later these joyous orchestral works represent an indispensable treasure of the Baroque.
