CD8/2009
Leipzig Gewandhaus Bach Orchestra
Gerhard Bosse
Camden Theatre, London
Recording: October 1966
Fanfare
“The Mozart and Haydn works are […] both for the most part enjoyably stylish with impressively sonorous, unanimous string playing in the former and many fine solo contributions in the latter.”
—Boyd Pomeroy, Fanfare 33:5, May/June 2010
American Record Guide
“The orchestra is a fine one, but its style, particularly in Bach, reflects older ideals … On the other hand, their style, which brings out a cantilena quality […], reveals dimensions of his harmony and phrasing that period groups regularly overlook.”
“Bosse is a fine soloist in the concerto”
“The sound is good for a concert recording of the period”
—Paul Althouse, American Record Guide , July/August 2010
MusicWeb International
“Bosse is the soloist and director and he’s an accomplished practitioner in both arts.”
“It’s a performance of considerable merit.”
“The recording is very decent, capturing Bosse’s tone with fidelity.”
—Jonathan Woolf, MusicWeb International, September 2011
