About

Johann Bernhard Bach (1676-1749) is a somewhat ill-known member of the family, but known by his first cousin once removed, Johann Sebastian. A disciple of Pachelbel, he was in the service of the court of Eisenach and left us only instrumental music. His four Ouvertures for orchestra constitute the obvious link between French music of the Grand Siècle and the compositions that Johann Sebastian would write in Weimar and Cöthen. A missing link to be (re) discovered.

February 2017

L’Achéron perform stylishly and gracefully, adding well-chosen and effective wind doublings to Bach’s basic string texture. The low pitch they use robs the sound of a little brightness, but they can still draw poignancy from each suite’s tender Air and find energy in the looser rustic numbers…these suites are a pleasant encounter
