Several factors converged to put this release on classical best-seller charts in the autumn of 2023. One was the arrangements by Thomas Oehler of Bach's keyboard partitas, which seem tailor-made for Britain's Classic FM network. The idea of arranging keyboard works for orchestra would have seemed familiar enough to Bach, but these are not historically oriented performances but works but pieces "re-imagined for small orchestra." Much of the load is carried by the winds, with the strings entering a bit sentimentally to smooth out edges, and the concept is quite easy on the ears. The instrumental configuration of each partita movement is nicely chosen to match the movement's character. The program concludes with a new work by Oehler himself, and it is recognizably from the same pen as the Bach arrangements. Another factor in the album's success may have been the presence of the nearly octogenarian Trevor Pinnock as conductor, still associated with novel projects and still having the ability to shape an ensemble into a precise unit. Perhaps the biggest contributor is the Royal Academy of Music Soloists Ensemble (with an assist from students of the Glenn Gould School). These are student musicians, and the freshness they bring may be indefinable, but it is there. To boot, Linn contributes bright, appealing sound recorded at the Snape Maltings Concert Hall. Ideally suited to enliven one's drive home, this is a standout among popular Bach recordings.
