Bach - Orchestral Suite no. 3 in D major BWV 1068 - Mortensen | Netherlands Bach Society

It is an anachronism to call this festive Suite no. 3 in D major, performed here by the Netherlands Bach Society conducted by Lars Ulrik Mortensen for All of Bach, &There are no trumpets, timpani or even oboes in this performance, as Bach only added these instruments around 1730. Mortensen reduces the line up to a minimum and does not regret the loss of the timbre of the wind instruments in the least: with just strings left, the music sounds sleek and transparent.
