Bach: The Conductors' Transcriptions


“…Leonard Slatkin and the BBC Symphony Orchestra relish the considerable technical challenges posed by these transcriptions… those who enjoy their Bach as a full meat-and-two-veg course will love this release, and the Chandos recording is suitably lustrous.” --BBC Music Magazine, September 2004 ****

Gramophone Magazine
Editor's Choice - October 2004




''eveyrthing here is worth sampling at least once, and most of it more often than that. It's a real treat and the sound is excellent. Need I say more?' --Gramophone 'Editor's Choice' (October 2004)

'It's a wonderful listen and a worthy follow-up to Slatkin's earlier five-star CD of orchestrations by various composers (CHAN 9835)' --The Independent

'Le choix de l'audiophile' 'Le choix de l'audiophile' --Classica (France)

''this rewarding anthology receives an opulent and lucid recording. An enlightening project then, and a testimony to Bach's indestructible music and his ability to inspire.' --International Record Review
