Overview

This expansive 4-CD collection from Newton Classics brings together the essential orchestral and concerto works of Johann Sebastian Bach, performed by the world-renowned Moscow Virtuosi under the direction of the legendary violinist Vladimir Spivakov. Spanning nearly four hours of music, the set features Bach's complete Orchestral Suites, his major Violin Concertos, and a selection of brilliant concertos for oboe, flute, and multiple violins. These recordings, captured between 1982 and 1990, are celebrated for their technical precision, vibrant energy, and the seamless communication between soloist and ensemble that has become the hallmark of the Moscow Virtuosi.

Interesting Facts

The Ensemble: Founded in 1979 by Vladimir Spivakov, the Moscow Virtuosi consists of top-tier soloists and principal players from Moscow's leading orchestras, dedicated to the highest standards of chamber music performance.
Spivakov's Dual Role: In these recordings, Vladimir Spivakov serves as both the primary violin soloist and the conductor (director), a practice common in the Baroque era that allows for a unified artistic vision.
Diverse Venues: The recordings were made in several acoustically distinct European locations, including the historic Herkulessaal in Munich and the Église de St Matthieu in Colmar, France.
Guest Soloists: The set features notable soloists such as Alexei Utkin (oboe), Sergei Bezrodny (harpsichord), and flutists Tobias Carron and Elena Duran, further enriching the orchestral palette.
