Towards the end of its 40th anniversary year the Academy of Ancient Music, with its musical director Richard Egarr, releases a significant new recording of JS Bach's four Orchestral Suites BWV1066-69.
This new recording was made at low pitch (A=392) along with a reduced orchestra 'Using one player per part creates a wonderful chamber music feel and allows the flexibility that is essential in Bach's music.' (Richard Egarr).
Further content available online includes an introductory film about the recording as well as session photographs.
This release - the third on AAM Records - follows 'Birth of the symphony: Handel to Haydn', which was named BBC Radio 3's Disc of the Week and widely acclaimed, and JS Bach's 'St John Passion', which received a 2014 Gramophone Award nomination in the vocal category.
The news of the death of Christopher Hogwood comes just as the orchestra he founded, the Academy of Ancient Music, releases a fine new set of Bach's Orchestral Suites, with his successor, Richard Egarr, repeating the one-to-a-part approach he adopted for their Harmonia Mundi Brandenburg set. The sound is consequently less expansive than other recordings but the rewards are glorious, with Egarr at the harpsichord driving the delightfully clean and springy rhythms, every detail sharply defined, each separate timbre there for us to enjoy. This intimate, chamber approach allows the trumpets in Suites Nos 3 and 4 to glow rather than blast and the exceptional flute of Rachel Brown to shine in all its woody-toned charm in Suite No 2. Highly recommended. –Guardian, 29/10/14
The death of Christopher Hogwood was among the most notable losses in classical music during 2014. As founder of the Academy of Ancient Music, he was a leading pioneer of period instruments and it is good to see the AAM continuing to flourish under his successor, Richard Egarr, with this recording of Bach's Orchestral Suites. By choosing to perform the Suites with just one instrument to each part, and at an unusually low pitch, Egarr is keeping alive the AAM's reputation for fresh thinking. These are lively performances of individual piquancy and intimacy. **** –Ft, 30/12/14
Egarr and the AAM have found a thoroughly individual approach is never quixotic and always inventive. This set is a joy from the start to finish and it's an exhilarating new front-runner in a crowded field. IRR,Jan'15. All in all, a feast of meaningfully understated musicianship. I loved it. –Gramophone, Feb'15
