Frans Brüggen and the Minnesota Orchestra, 1 May 1985



Rameau: Suite from Dardanus (arranged by Brüggen)
J. S. Bach: Concerto for recorder and orchestra (arranged by Brüggen)
C.P.E. Bach: Symphony in D
Haydn: Symphony #88 in G


Live aircheck of a performance in St. Paul, Minnesota, during which Brüggen got a modern orchestra to sound like an eighteenth-century one. (Two weeks after this performance, he was in Sydney, Australia, getting their orchestra to do the same thing.) An interesting concert on many levels, not the least of which being Brüggen’s own transcriptions. The concerto here is an arrangement of a harpsichord concerto in which Brüggen served as both soloist and conductor. A twelve-minute interview with Brüggen discussing the motive behind these concerts, which originally aired during the intermission, is included at the end of this archive.
