Ouverturen: Complete Orchestral Suites
Called 'Ouvertüren'; in Germany because they began with a large-scale overture à la française, Bach's Orchestral Suites offer a unique synthesis of the French and 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 spicing them up with counterpoint. On this new specially-priced set, the Freiburger Barockorchester offers benchmark performances of these indispensable treasures of the Baroque.
