The four best-known baroque composers – Bach, Handel, Telemann, Vivaldi – were all born within ten years of each other, Bach and Handel in the same year, 1685. For the Cappella Coloniensis, always on the lookout for forgotten, pushed aside music, a challenge: it must be possible to find other composers from the same period who were just as highly regarded, if not more so, as the quartet whose posthumous fame seems to outshine everything else. Cappella Coloniensis delivers an impressive example for the compositional art of the Bach period with orchestral works by Graupner, Heinichen and Fasch – all born in the 1680s – as well as Johann Gottlieb Graun (1703 – 1771). All four composers on this CD and Telemann, Bach and Handel were from central Germany (Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, Thuringia, Brandenburg). The colourfully orchestrated overtures and orchestral suites give the soloists in the Cappella ample opportunity to present their virtuosity.

Phoenix Edition’s Overtures features period instrument orchestra Cappella Coloniensis under the direction of Hans-Martin Linde in four late Baroque overtures in the French style; that is, they are really suites consisting of dances fitted with a short overture at the opening, though the work by Johann Gottlieb Graun does not follow this plan. The disc opens with a burly, swaggering Overture in C major by Dresden court composer Johann David Heinichen; this is followed by a more galant overture by Christoph Graupner that has the unusual instrumental component of three chalumeaux, instruments that were a predecessor to the clarinet; the Graupner work is the latest sounding music on the disc, even though Graun lived longer than he. Fasch’s bright and snappy Overture in B flat sounds the closest to Johann Sebastian Bach of these pieces with its rapid-fire rhythms, mingling of high trumpet and high string parts, and murderous ensemble passages for the bassoons. Of these four overtures, one cannot resist stating that the Fasch seems to be the most interesting and best-it is also the longest. The shortest is the Graun Overture in D minor; it stands stylistically halfway between the Fasch and Graupner, having a sense of Handelian graciousness, but also possessing some measure of the seriousness and gravity more typical of the Mannheim school. In this respect, Graun’s is a strange Baroque overture, and as it is only in two movements lacking tempo indications, one wonders if it is complete.
