J.s. Bach: Concertos With Several Instruments, Vol
) | Label: Alpha Productions Catalog: ALPHA168 Format: CD Café Zimmerman (Pablo Valetti, Amandine Beyer, Claire Cachia, David Plantier, violons; Diana Baroni, traverso; Antoine Torunczyk, hautbois d'amour; Patricia Gagnon, Sabine Bouthinon, altos; Petr Skalka, violoncelle; Ludek Brany, contrebasse; Céline Frisch, clavecin)Johann Sebastian Bach Bach's suites and concertos have long been part of concert repertoires. It is however interesting to mentally replace their first executions in the context of the time, so different from what we see on present day stages. Apart from at the courts, whatever their size, there were no permanent orchestras in Bach's time and age. Café Zimmermann has brilliantly recreated the spirit of these orchestras, allowing each musician (chosen among the best on the European baroque scene) to express himself. Penultimate opus in this outstanding series, this is the first time we hear Café Zimmermann in such a large formation. This in no way harms the characteristic energy of the ensemble and we discover a Bach more alive than ever.  Price: $27.98 |
