It is an anachronism to call this festive Suite no. 3 in D major, performed here by the Netherlands Bach Society conducted by Lars Ulrik Mortensen for All of Bach, 'orchestral'. There are no trumpets, timpani or even oboes in this performance, as Bach only added these instruments around 1730. Mortensen reduces the line up to a minimum and does not regret the loss of the timbre of the wind instruments in the least: with just strings left, the music sounds sleek and transparent.

Recorded for the project All of Bach on 15 October 2017 at Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ, Amsterdam. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel [ Ссылка ] and consider donating [ Ссылка ].
