The "hidden reunion" in the title of this Glossa release by the Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century does not refer to some set of goûts réunis but simply to the fact that the album, featuring chamber orchestra works by Bach and Telemann, marked the players' first gathering since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic. It was made in the spring and summer of 2021 in Amsterdam, still under restrictions reflected in the choice of repertory. Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 6 in B flat major, BWV 1051, was chosen for its small forces, lacking violins, and Bach's Orchestral Suite No. 2 in B minor, BWV 1067, and Telemann's Ouverture-Suite in D major, TWV 55: D6, between them, require only a single wind player, a flutist in the Bach with its famous "Badinerie" finale. The players performed without a conductor (as this ensemble sometimes has since the death of its founder, Frans Brüggen) and socially distanced from one another. ~ James Manheim, Rovi
