Bach ’Arioso’ - Stokowski orchestration - Jacques Grimbert conducts

This is the opening ’Sinfonia’ to Bach’s Cantata No 156. The same music appears as the slow movement to his Clavier Concerto No. 5 in F minor. Stokowski’s full-blooded orchestration is here sumptuously played and recorded by the Orchestre de Paris-Sorbonne under Jacques Grimbert. (An ’Arsis Classics’ CD recorded in 2000 ...
