...gamba and a harpsichord.
Next comes music composed by Henry Purcell. It is his Chaconne in F. I have heard some of Purcell's music, but this is the first time that I have come across this particular piece. It is truly delightful, and I am pleased hat I bought this particular CD. The Chaconne in F is performed by recorders, harpsichord and viola da gamba. It consists of the following: Hark! How all Things in one sound Rejoice (The Fairy Queen) Ye gentle Spirits of the Air (The Fairy Queen) and Let the dreadful Engines of eternal Will (Don Quixote). The Fairy Queen was a revue based on a Midsummer Night's Dream, whilst was a part of a longer piece that was unfinished at Purcell's death.

Just Sit Bach for J S Bach Review ofBach: Concerto for Two Violins in D minor / Violin Concertos in A minor & E minorby

Advantages: Romantic orchestral music Disadvantages: Only 1 hour - eat quickly for a romantic dinner
...Johann Sebastian Bach, giant among Baroque composers, was a prolific writer whose versatility and creativity resulted in a wealth of musical works with a diversity ranging from sacred choral works, keyboard music to orchestra music.
The CD, Concerto for Two Violins in D minor / Violin Concertos in A minor & E minor, is an orchestral recording conducted by Salvatore Accardo, in which two violins (Anne-Sophie Mutter and Salvatore Accardo) / solo violin (Anne-Sophie Mutter) are contrasted with a larger orchestra (English Chamber Orchestra) of strings and bass continuo instrument the harpsichord.
Bach is often criticized for his strict attention to form. Whilst, I greatly admire Bach for his intellectual and methodical approach to composition, what I enjoy most is the harmonious and melodic music that results.
This CD is a superb example...
