Bach: Overtures BWV 1066, 1068 (Original Source Series) LP
Bach’s Overtures or Orchestral Suites are, mostly very 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. Historical authenticity was the basis of the playing, but their aim was a brilliant, lively orchestral sound serving the emotional core of the music.
