Bach: The Orchestral Suites / Kuijken
Label: ACCENT Catalog: ACC24279 Format: CD La Petite Bande, Sigiswald KuijkenJohann Sebastian Bach (1658-1750) Following the Brandenburg Concertos, Sigiswald Kuijken now presents this new recording of the four Orchestral Suites of Johann Sebastian Bach with his ensemble La Petite Bande. Orchestral suites in the French style, in which the actual "overture" is always followed by a series of dances or characteristic movements, were quite well known during Bach's time at courts throughout Europe. The splendour of the Versailles court of Louis XIV and XV was imitated everywhere, and music was of great importance in this respect. Price: $27.98 |
