Bach: Ouvertures for Orchestra

Alessandrini has sifted all available sources, putting the composer's entire output under the microscope to identify the most authentic details of style and orchestration. The result is a subtle balance between Bach's intricate contrapuntal writing and the spontaneity of his dances, with their French and Italian influences. Together with these majestic, festive, radiant works by JS Bach, Concerto Italiano presents two 'Overtures' in the same instrumental mould by Johann Bernhard and Johann Ludwig Bach - two composer cousins with whom Johann Sebastian enjoyed lifelong ties of mutual friendship and esteem.
