AMERSHAM FESTIVAL CHAMBER ORCHESTRA
Iain Ledingham (conductor)
Bach’s Orchestral Suites are a wonderful synthesis of his unique contrapuntal inventiveness with the elegance and charm of the French Dance Suite. Scored for strings, oboes and bassoon the First Suite is a work of enduring charm and richness. The sumptuously scored Brandenburg Concerto No 1 combines strings horns and woodwind to tremendous effect. The Water Music Suite in F, composed to please Handel’s royal patron, is full of wonderful melodies and infectiously joyful rhythms and includes the famous Air and Hornpipe along with many other delightful pieces.
