Reviews

‘This is without question one of the finest records of baroque music ever issued! … a revelation … enthralling and hugely important. A wonderful issue’ (CDReview)
Opus 5 No 6 is cast in a three-movemement pattern, with an opening slow movement followed by a lengthy, elaborate Allegro; the last movement, cast in the rhythm of a minuet, is a set of variations (or ‘divisions’, for the continuo part remains unchanged throughout) of ever-increasing complexity.

from notes by Peter Holman © 1992

L’opus 5 numéro 6 est écrite en trois mouvements avec un long mouvement d’ouverture suivi d’un Allegro élaboré prolongé; le dernier mouvement écrit sur un rythme de menuet, est un groupe de variations (ou de diminutions, car la partie en continuo reste inchangée à travers tout le morceau) d’une complexité qui ne cesse d’augmenter.

Opus 5 Nr. 6 verläuft nach einem dreisätzigen Schema, auf den ersten, langsamen Satz folgt ein langes, verwickeltes Allegro, und der letzte Satz, mit seinen menuettartigen Rhythmen, besteht aus einer Reihe von Variationen (oder „divisions“, das Continuo bleibt den ganzen Satz durch unverändert) von sich immer steigernder Komplexität.
