The recording is up to Capriccio’s usual standards. The playing by the Cappella Coloniensis under Hans-Martin Linde is solid in the two overtures…He also shows considerable restraint in the flute and oboe concerto, with the accompaniment maintaining a nice background presence…

…a good disc to have in your collection. The performances are fine…there is to my mind nothing that really makes one leap up and shout.

The music is utterly delightful. It is also joyfully performed here, with much energy. The trumpet playing is outstanding—no blatting.

The sound is excellent, and the recording is well engineered with plenty of reverb but without sounding hollow and with natural, bright sound.

Perteneciente de la generación cumbre de Barroco alemán, Johann Friedrich Fasch (1688–1758) es un músico cuya obra, por situarse ya en la línea evolutiva que habría de desembocar el Clasicismo, presenta notables similitudes con la de Georg Philipp Telemann (1681–1767). No es extraño, por tanto, que, a remolque de la rehabilitación del “signore Menlante”, en los últimos años el Kapellmeister de Zerbst se haya ido abriendo también un huequecito en el panorama discográfico.
