The unusual alternation of using the lute and lute-harpsichord for the Lute Suites is a delight. Also, this is the first time Nikolaus Harnoncourt's cello suites have been released on cd and they are a gem. One tends to think of him as only a conductor, but his performance throughout these works for cello and viola da gamba reveal his true gifts as a musician. Thomas Zehetmair's performance of the solo violin works is excellent; filled with contagious emotion and energy. The rarely-recorded and lovely canons are also included here, played by Reinhard Goebel and Musican Antique Koln. This particular volume is filled with so many of Bach's most beautiful and moving music performed by such outstanding musicians that I can barely contain my enthusiasm. I listened to this volume several times, and gained an understanding of the music, and appreciation for the musicians, with each listening. It is a treasured addition to my collection of Bach's music. David McKay said: A lively, but gentle recording. It takes a while to adjust to the sound of the Baroque flute when you are used to the modern variety. There are some occasional quite out of tune notes. But my flautist wife says that these few bum notes are a small price to pay for such exquisite playing. As part of a set of Bach chamber music CDs, this one is well worth having. But I don't think I'd rush out and buy it as the best CD of these works. Carlos Ibarias said: Absolutely Fascinating! This was what I thought the first days that I was listening and delighting with this beautiful collection of the whole chamber music of Bach. This time Teldec and their "Das Alte Werk", after years and years of work finally they have achieved a beautiful collection of the whole chamber music of Bach. To begin I mean that the recording of the lute suites for Luca Pianca is fascinating as well as the use of the already unknown "lautenwerck" for Barchi, as well as the recording of the sonatas written for the old viola da gamba for Harnoncourt. Other pieces to highlight were the sonatas and partitas for alone violin (especially the III partita) recorded and executed by Zehetmair, which makes them sing with notable shine, after but of two centuries. Also wanted to recommend the sonatas for two flutes which contaminate with all their happiness to everybody who listen them, as well as those something unknown canons for strings recorded by Goebel. And the charming and melodious sonatas and the quick partita for alone flute in A minor executed for Rampal, which know as all, was one of the best flutist in the world. After this whole marvel, however, there is something that I don't like, and this is: the use of old recordings (or like one says, recordings ADD), me but well it had recorded all again in format DDD. With all their small problems, it is a very advisable collection for all that enjoys the music of Bach. Acknowledgements: David McKay Carlos Ibarias And from the collection of Jan Hanford.
