Friedrich Fasch, a contemporary of Bach and Telemann. Richard Stone of Tempesta di Mare describes the pieces
as ‘fantastic, true discoveries… they have the breadth and complexity of J.S. Bach without the austerity, and have a
much more evolved sense of orchestral colour that’s truly extraordinary’. The concert was titled The Fantastic Herr
Fasch – A Genius Rediscovered, and presented a gigantic five-movement orchestral suite, two concerti for
orchestra and an Andante. The works in this concert were recorded for this CD release, which means that all the
energy and enthusiasm of the concert performance are here for all to appreciate. “These 'world premiere' recordings reveal Fash's melodic fluency and, most strikingly, a sophisticated armoury of wind instruments, which he marshals with the colouring and character continued by later Dresden orchestras. ” Gramophone Magazine, June 2008 |
