About this product

Karlsson Barock is possibly the most prominent string ensemble for Baroque music in Northern Europe. On this album, Two Orchestral Suites & Three Arias, the orchestra is expanded with three woodwind play-ers from another important Swedish ensemble The Drottningholm Baroque Ensemble. The first piece on this album is the orchestral suite by Georg Philipp Telemann, Ouverture-Suite in C Major, TWV 55 C6. Telemann's Orchestral Suites - also known as 'Ouvertures' like Bach's - were viewed as the pinnacle of the composer's synthesis of Italian and French styles into something quintessentially German. As an interlude before Bach's orchestral suite, we hear three arias from two tremendously popular operas at the time Alcina by Georg Friedrich Händel and Farnaceby Antonio Vivaldi. To our great joy, the soprano part is performed by Helena Ek, a much-appreciated soloist for early music in Europe. Ms. Ek has an impressively extensive repertoire that spans from early music to con-temporary and she has teamed up with Göran Karlssonin several early music productions. Bach's Orchestral Suite No. 1 in C Major, BWV 1066, concludes this wonderful album. Bach's Four Orchestral Suites have helped challenge, alter and reshape what we understand about the composer. Mostly because we don't often associate Bach, the sober Lutheran organist, with exuberant and joyful dance music. But these are works of considerable maturity and sophistication that deserve their place alongside the great scores of Bach's last decades. From Footprint Records, we wish you an enjoyable listening.

Johann Bernhard Bach's four Orchestral Suites, composed for the court orchestra of the cultured duke of Saxony-Eisenach, are amongst the most varied and sophisticated musical works of the high baroque period in Middle Germany. It was not by chance that Georg Philipp Telemann, a one-time Kapellmeister at Eisenach, commented retrospectively InchI have to praise this orchestra, arranged for the most part according to the French style, for it surpassed the very famous Parisian opera orchestra.Inch From 1703, Bernard Bach was engaged as harpsichordist in this noble orchestra. His Orchestral Suites provide the only surviving InchsoundtrackInch of the illustrious musical life at the Eisenach court during the 1710s and 20s. And what a soundtrack cosmopolitan, and truly European, with sparkling virtuosic brilliance, as if written by a fiery Italian, whilst displaying the elegant taste of a noble Frenchman. In other words, the Inchmixed tasteInch, for which the best German composers of the late baroque period were famous, in it's finest form. Little wonder then that Bernhard Bach's suites became core repertoire for Johann Sebastian Bach's Leipzig Collegium Musicum, also influencing his compositions. All this provides sufficient motivation for the Thuringian Bach Collegium to continue their exploration through the Middle German courts for their second recording and, with unbridled enthusiasm in their music-making, to bring these jewels of the early Thuringian orchestral music back to life. Bon Appetit! Album Tracks 1. Orchestral Suite No. 1 2. Orchestral Suite No. 2 3. Orchestral Suite No. 3 4. Orchestral Suite No. 4
