The English Concert, Trevor Pinnock : Bach Overtures BWV 1066, 1068

Bach’s ‘Overtures’ or ‘Orchestral Suites’ are, mostly very joyful, suites of dance movements. The two recorded here, ‘No. 1’ and ‘No. 3’, are especially flamboyant works of Baroque splendor, while also featuring the famous ‘Air’ (in ‘Suite No. 3’), a peaceful piece of utter beauty and serenity.
