Bachwochen Thun: Die Vier Ouvertüre

Two movements from Johann Sebastian Bach's four overtures, also known as orchestral suites, are particularly well-known: the breathless Badinerie for solo flute from the second and the dreamlike Air from the third overture. The four suites, composed of various dance movements, whose alternative title refers to the opening movement ("Ouverture" in French), offer much more colorful and varied orchestral music. And although they were not originally intended as a cycle and therefore require very different wind instrumentation, the baroque orchestra La Cetra from Basel under the direction of Andrea Marcon presents the four works in one evening - undoubtedly a very special treat."Andrea Marcon is a specialist for voices and instruments, he always leaves plenty of room for imagination and improvisation. Because only those who know the rules well can afford to break them."
