Air from Suite No. 3 Main Performer or Conductor: Herbert vonKarajan Accompaniment/Orchestra: Berliner Philharmoniker Instrumentation: Orchestra Individual Works: BACH: Air from suite no. 3 BWV 1068 VIVALDI : Flute concert no. 2 "LA NOTTE" PACHELBEL: Canon & Gigue GLUCK: "ORPHEUS UND EURYDIKE" Reigen seliger Geister MOZART: Serenata notturna KV 239 Format: Compact Disc Record Label: Deutsche Grammophon Catalog Number: 413 309-2 Comments: Andrea La Mattina said: This is a singular interpretation of the air: Karajan, as he did in 1965, doesn't use the solo violin and conducts with a very slow time: the impression is a solemn moment of the history of the music, everything stops and only the Bach's music can live in its wonderful odissey. In this cd there is not the complete version of the suite no 3, but only the air, a piece that Karajan loved in a particular way: he wanted it to be played during his funeral in Salzburg in the 1989.
