Two extra Bach Orchestral Suites to be heard tonight (apparently).

[Bryn]

Just been catching up on the Monday and Tuesday editions/episodes of Afternoon on 3 during one of which a certain Ms. Derham, the well known Bach specialist, announced that Wednesday's Performance on 3 would comprise the "six" orchestral suites by Bach. Looks like the schedule compilers have got it wrong again. They only list the usual four.

[Just double checked. It was at the end of Tuesday's 'episode'.]

[salymap]

Well, I only know four but may listen for no 2, which I think contains the attractive 'badinerie' [sp?]
movement.

Confusing it with the Brandenburgs no doubt. Easy mistake for a beginner to make.

You just never know what she'll find in her trousseau next

the usual four.

... a shame. I know that the fifth suite (BWV 1070) has been re-attributed to his son Wilhelm Friedemann; but I have a CD with Nova Stravaganza / Siegbert Rampe which gives a couple more - BWV 119(a) in C and BWV 97(a) in Bb ... (Obviously reconstructions from Cantatas, but with serious scholarly justification provided in the sleeve notes).

In my old Hire library catalogue we had the authentic first 4 in the Breitkopf edition, with scoring, no 5
not mentioned, no 6, no scoring given, arranged 'Wood'. No full name given of arranger. Luckily no one ever hired it.

Great story salymap

Or the Cello Suites

Or the English Suites

Or the French ones

(none of which are orchestral, of course)

[MickyD]

Looks like another case of "What Katy Did Next."

But surely there are SEVEN Brandenburgs...?

Oh dear. Perhaps it will become valuable, like stamps with a mis-print.

[Sir Velo]

No misprint. Cambridge Baroque Camerata states that Brandenburg No 7 (sic) is scholarly speculation, in an arrangement by Duncan Druce, of the 3rd sonata for viol and obbligato harpsichord by J S Bach.

... ah, but I also have Brandeburg Concertos 7,8, 9, 10,11, 12...

Some people always have to go one (or six) better

(The D major Suite provided the perfect accompaniment to this evening's return to Château Caliban, and so I'm not looking any equines in the mouth
