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
