Violinist Gottfried von der Goltz leads the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra in Corelli’s Concerti Grossi, true hits of the Baroque repertoire. Enhancing the rich orchestral sound, the orchestra has added other instruments to the original strings: a large continuo (lute, harp, harpsichord, and organ) and wind instruments (oboes, bassoon, trombones, and trumpets). This is consistent with historical practice. Documents that have come down to us show that on a number of occasions Corelli himself extended his instrumental forces in this way.
