This recording of these “hits” of Baroque music aims above all to remind us that early music is not exclusively confined to the use of “ancient” instruments. Under the direction of Vincent Bernhardt, the Klaipėda Chamber Orchestra (Lithuania) plays on metal strings and “modern” instruments. The blend with baroque wind instruments results in a varied but coherent musical discourse, underpinned by a reflection on questions of phrasing and articulation and driven by the idea that everyone can confront Bach whatever their instrument.
