CD Reviews

Close to the Vest

G. Bonine-Giles | Maplewood, MN United States | 04/07/2001

(2 out of 5 stars)

"I actually found this a bit too conservative of a performance for my tastes. It's technically all there, but there is no real emotion in the piece. These suites in live performance sing, leaping off the stage with emotion and power. Here, all that seems to have been sacrificed for correctness. As background music, it is fine, but look elsewhere if you want to experience the emotional power of these works."

Great performance by Hogwood

YOUNG GIL KIM | Yu-sung Gu Gu-sung dong, Tai-jon South Korea 305-7 | 08/04/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This album is the best choice for Orchestral Suites of Bach. As always, the ancient music style of Hogwood gives so fast rythm that even novice of classical music can enjoy this album without being boring. Don't miss this album."

A historical performance in all aspects

scarlatti11 | Killeen, TX United States | 05/02/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This recording should be concidered
a historical performance, done with
historical acurracy. The four orchestral
suites by Bach as the composer himself
might of heard them.The only other group
that matches the Academy's brilliant
performances is Jordi Savall's Concert
des Nations. This recording also
include two Harpsichord Concertos by Bach
the BWV 1060 and 1062. Since all of Bach's
Harpasichord Concerto are really arregements of
other works, 1062 is an arrengement of Bach's
Concerto for two violins.Wonderful recording and
great historical accurracy."
