Yes, Fasch was very skilled..and had a great ear for texture and phrasings. You can really hear the kind of influence the Italian school had in northern Germany durning the early-to-mid 18th century. The blend is not very much unlike Handel's Corellian concerti grossi; but Fasch's music leaned more towards the last quarter of the 18th century, more typified in the works of Bach's sons.

I've recently discovered the Suites of Fasch, and have uploaded one on my channel. They are incredibly beautiful and very listenable. Great shame his name is relatively forgotten.

It's hard to believe J.S. Bach and J.F. Fasch were almost exact contemporaries. Listening to Fasch's music really gives an insight as to why Bach was considered "old fashioned" even back in those days. There is a clear transformation happening here in terms of style and counterpoint. The writing is becoming more early Mozartian than traditionally Bachian (though the North German baroque is still evident in many places). Contrast Fasch's music with Heinechen's (also contemporaries) for a shocker.

Hmmm, I never noticed a piano was included the basso continuo for these recordings. I'll have to check the liner notes on the CD. If you're right...good ear!! I'm impressed.
