Colourful!,
By Musicus (Oslo, Norway) - See all my reviews
This review is from: J.S. Bach: Musikalisches Opfer (Audio CD)
This interpretation is a perfect match to Savall's equally beautiful Art of the Fugue. Here you find even more variety in the blend of instruments. I am not going to have only one version of this music and my first recommendation is Münchinger's more emotional recording on Decca. When it comes to colourful instrumentation, however, Savall is the winner, and the direction & playing needs no justification, it is simply wonderful, even if I doubt this folk music style reflects the spirit of the baroque era. The king's theme must have been very popular during the 18th century; you find it even in the song "Gråt Fader Berg" by the Swedish minstrel Carl Michael Bellman (1740-95).

J.S. Bach: Musikalisches Opfer,
By Bjorn Viberg (European Union) - See all my reviews
This review is from: J.S. Bach: Musikalisches Opfer (Audio CD)
J.S. Bach: Musikalisches Opfer is a recording under the direction of Jordi Savall who leads Le Concert Des NAtions on this Alia Vox recording from 2001. The booklet contains 35 pages. Jordi Savall has written a short yet concise essay entitled "J.S. Bach's Musical Testament. After this one gets a longer and untitled essay by Gilles Cantagrel (translated by Jaqueline Minett) that covers the works in question. Recommended. 4/5.
