Release Review:
---------------
I like to call these albums that include
an assortment of compositions by famous
composers performed by a variety of relatively
unknown musicians "sampler" albums. Typically
you get a lot of the best-known excerpts from
longer works, along with some shorter pieces.
Among available Bach samplers, this one is
slightly above average. The performances are
all respectable, and I would even say the
renditions of Brandenburg Concerto #3 and
Air On the G String are good. Bach, I think
more than many other Euro-classical composers,
stands out in these sampler settings. If it
bears repeating, these albums are geared toward
novice listeners. I think for those listeners,
this album makes a decent choice to introduce yourself
to some Bach. More discerning listeners shouldn't be
disappointed, and may even find a few highlights.
