The fourth of Bach's orchestral suites, also in the key of D major, is scored for three trumpets and timpani, three oboes, bassoon, strings and continuo. After the compound rhythm of the fugal section of the Ouverture and a return to the slower music of the opening comes a pair of Bourrées, played in alternation, a Gavotte, and a pair of Menuets, with the second played by strings and continuo alone. The Suite ends with a cheerful movement bearing the title Réjouissance, which proclaims both its character and the French provenance of the whole form, adopted and translated by Bach into suitable German musical terms.

Capella Istropolitana
Conducted by Jaroslav Dvorak

  • L'influence de Delalande est très claire dans cette ouverture.

  • @kotetsu131 They're probably playing natural trumpets in D. Easier to hit the high notes than on a modern Bb.

  • Majestic elegance.

  • @kotetsu131 Sounds hardcore edited to me.

  • Being a trumpet player I wonder how these guys can play the hell UP there without losing their clear tone, I've got a double E on a GREAT day and I WORK for it. And no the answer is NOT the picc.

  • I would have preferred it to played a little more slowly to be honest...nevertheless its a good recording

  • @HaagenDazzle, this is a picture of Le Grand Escalier du Palais Garnier, l'Opéra Royale de Paris.

  • Is that picture part of the Library of Congress? It looks like it.

  • Beautiful image and love the music selection!! 5***** thank you for sharing your magical creation with us.. Have a great week.. Peace, Love and Light.. Huggies Kassandra
