Why This CD Matters
The Jean-François Paillard Chamber Orchestra brings together familiar Baroque works, including Pachelbel’s “Canon,” Bach’s “Air on the G String,” and the “Adagio” associated with Albinoni. The program moves between orchestral pieces, concertos, and Bach cantata selections, with parts for flute, oboe, trumpet, and harpsichord. Recorded in Paris in 1989 under Paillard’s direction, this album offers a varied introduction to Baroque melodies.
