Digital Booklet
"Album of the Week ... a sharp, sparkling and unencumbered reading ... (an) excellent new recording under the baton of Richard Egarr ... (his) approach allows each instrument to be heard and shine through and for the brilliance of Bach's writing to be exposed and enjoyed afresh." - Classic FM The Academy of Ancient Music, one of the finest period instrument orchestras in the world, presents this recording of J.S. Bach's Orchestral Suites, directed from the harpsichord by Richard Egarr. Performed with single strings and at a low, "French" pitch, this recording offers a unique chamber-like interpretation of Bach's virtuosic overtures.

What is High-Resolution Audio?

High-resolution audio offers the highest-fidelity available, far surpassing the sound quality of traditional CDs. When you listen to music on a CD or tracks purchased via consumer services such as iTunes, you are hearing a low-resolution version of what was actually recorded and mastered in the studio. ProStudioMasters offers the original studio masters — exactly as the artist, producers and sound engineers mastered them — for download, directly to you.

What do I need for playback?

You may need additional software / hardware to take full advantage of the higher 24-bit high-res audio formats, but any music lover that has heard 16-bit vs 24-bit will tell you it's worth it!
