Bach (1685-1750)

Description:

Merkel! Barchetto! Recordings by three French and German virtuosos, all backed by the Munich Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra conducted by Radel, of Bach's violin concertos! Some people wanted to hear a different kind of Bach, so we brought together two French players, Erli and Merkel, and a German, Barchetto, for one disc of violin concertos. The common feature is the Munich Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra under the direction of Kurt Radel. The sound source is a French LP by Duclé Thomson. The music is a different kind of Bach: elegant French Bach from an era when the period technique had not yet emerged, and neat German Bach. Hyperion has also released an album with the same combination, featuring Mackintosh, who is well-known for his period playing, but each has its own high-level characteristics, even if the approaches are different. The correct answer would be to listen to both and enjoy them both.(Tokyo Institute of Technology Professor Ryo Aihara, Opus Kura Representative) [Comments courtesy of King International]
