Orchestral Works Vol.3

Tempesta di Mare & Philadelphia Baroque Orchestra

This is the third and concluding volume in Tempesta di Mare’s series of orchestral works by Johann Friedrich Fasch, a contemporary of J.S. Bach and Telemann. In his day, the works of Fasch – cantatas, concertos, symphonies, and chamber music – were performed extensively across the German-speaking world, and Fasch was held in great esteem by Bach, who owned copies of six of his orchestral suites and arranged at least one of his trio sonatas for organ.

Fasch, J F:
 Concerto in D for trumpet, 2 oboes, strings and continuo, FaWV L: D1
 Concerto in D, FaWV L: D8
 Concerto in F major, FWV L: deest
 Konzertsatz in F major, FWV L: F4
 Ouverture in D major, FWV K: D2
 Ouverture in F major, FWV K: F1

"A splendid collection of overtures and concertos by this unjustly neglected composer. Sparkling strings, punchy horns. With four premiere recordings, this is essential listening."
