The Bach family is vast and on this disc we have music of six members: Johann Sebastian, three of his sons and two relatives from ancillary lines, one of those a few years older than Johann Sebastian. Four of the eight works are first-time recordings, but it is still a bit uncertain whether the first three of them were written by Wilhelm Friedemann and Carl Philipp Emanuel. The excellent liner notes investigate this at some length, even though it is not an open-and-shut case. Not that it matters very much as long as it is good music – and it is. (...) “I see the future of Baroque orchestral music in the hands of modern ensembles – the fetish of the ‘original instrument’ has had its day, but not the profoundly trained professional who guides an orchestra into the deeper dimensions of the composition. For it isn’t the instrument that makes the music, but the head!”, he [Reinhard Goebel] says in the notes. (...)|
"In this first release in a projected series, the vastly experienced early music specialist Reinhard Goebel has produced what he describes in the booklet as “a something like this program”. The uncertainty derives from the almost complete lack of documentary evidence about much of the music played at the Leipzig Collegium Musicum, especially before Bach’s time. Hence, the programme consists of composers with an association to Leipzig in the decades before JSB’s arrival … and Johann Beer, who seems to have no connection to Leipzig, and nor is there any explanation in the notes as to the reason for his inclusion. It’s unlikely to surprise anyone that the best work on the programme is the Telemann, bursting with life and invention. Had this been a real concert at the Collegium, the audience would have gone home with a smile on its face. The Neues Bachisches Collegium Musicum Leipzig was founded in 1979 from members of the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchester. That practice continues to this day, and since 2013, the ensemble has had no permanent artistic director. The playing is, as you would expect, very fine, as is the sound quality. This is an interesting start to the series, and I would hope that once we get to the Bach years, the selections are equally diverse, rather than concentrating on JSB’s masterpieces."
