Michi Gaigg, conductor
Johann Sebastian Bach’s four orchestral suites, presumably written over a period of around 20 years from 1718 onwards, each of which is a free sequence of dance movements preceded by an overture, are among the most popular pieces of Baroque music and contain some of the best-known pieces of classical music, such as the Badinerie (dalliance) that concludes the 2nd Suite or the Air (melody) that comes second in the 3rd Suite. This veritable hit parade is presented in its original sound by the L’Orfeo Barockorchester under the direction of Michi Gaigg.
