Album information
A crisp performance of a selection of Bach's orchestral music by the inimitable NBO.
Ketil Haugsand directs the Norwegian Baroque Orchestra performing J.S Bach's Orchestral Suites 1 & 2 and the Harpsichord Concerto, BWV 1053.
The two orchestral suites contain some of Bach's most exuberant and attractive music. Suite no. 2 was written at a time when the new transverse flute was much in vogue. All of Bach's Harpsichord concertos date from the 1730's and are transcriptions of earlier works. The E major concerto heard here may originate in a lost oboe concerto in E flat. The three movements had already been re-used in cantatas 169 and 49: the outer movements formed sinfonias while the slow movement was an aria.
