Orchestral Suites Main Performer or Conductor: Karl Richter Accompaniment/Orchestra: Munich Bach Orchestra Soloists: Aurele Nicolet, Flute [BWV 1067] Instrumentation: Cello Flute Harpsichord Horn Oboe Orchestra Trumpet Viola Violin Individual Works: Overture No. 1 in C, BWV 1066 Overture No. 2 in b, BWV 1067 Overture No. 3 in D, BWV 1068 Overture No. 4 in D, BWV 1069 Format: Vinyl Record Record Label: Archiv Produktion Catalog Number: 104324/5 Year Released/Recorded: 1960/1961 Total Playing Time: 92'28 Comments: Richter's Bach is unique in that, while "old-fashioned", it has a bounce an elan which escapes most of the "authentic period" performances which are in vogue in certain circles. With Richter, one appreciates the striking sound of the brass in Bach's Suites, particularly as juxtaposed against the tympani.
