Trevor Pinnock/The English Concert - Bach: Overtures BWV 1066, 1068 - Original Source Series LP

Original Source Series, Limited Edition, 180g Heavy Vinyl, Gatefold

Bach's Overtures (or "Orchestral Suites") are joyful suites of dance movements, and the two recorded here — No. 1 and No. 3 — are especially flamboyant works of Baroque splendor, the latter featuring the famous "Air," a piece of utter serenity. Few ensembles have shaped our listening to early music like The English Concert, led from the harpsichord by founder Trevor Pinnock. Part of Deutsche Grammophon's Original Source Series, remastered by the Berlin-based Emil Berliner Studios using 100% pure analogue techniques.
