Rinaldo Alessandrini adds a generous helping to the baroque orchestral repertoire with his original transcriptions, arrangements, and adaptations of works by J.S. Bach. Stylishly performed by Concerto Italiano, the album features an orchestral transcription of the Overture in the French Style, BWV 831 (for solo harpsichord), a pastiche Partita for Traverso and String Orchestra, and a pastiche Overture for String Orchestra, the latter two drawn from several sources. Alessandrini states that rather than being musicological exercise or an attempt at “improvement,” the project is “the result of a learning effort combined with the fun that comes from creatively manipulating a text as suggested by procedures already in use since Bach’s time.”
