The tradition of adapting other composers’ works has been the convention in the early eighteenth century. Adopting a piece by another composer was always regarded as a sign of highest esteem for fellow composers.

As he grew older Bach practised this more and more frequently for his own works. He arranged concertos written in Köthen for other ensembles in Leipzig. He adapted Weimar cantatas to suit Leipzig conditions and transformed chamber music into orchestral music and vice versa. The diversity of Bach’s adaptations of his own works knew no limits.

This CD by the Elbipolis Baroque Orchestra of Hamburg is aligned to the tradition of Bach adaptations. Five works by Johann Sebastian Bach have been recorded in orchestral arrangements specially created by Jörg Jacobi, and also the presumed original version of the Overture in B Minor (BWV 1067) in a reconstruction by Werner Breig.
 
 

Anfang des 18. Jahrhunderts war es gang und gäbe fremde Kompositionen zu bearbeiten und für eigene Werke zu arrangieren. Die Übernahme eines Stückes galt stets als ein Zeichen höchster Anerkennung für den anderen Komponisten. In diese Tradition reihte sich Johann Sebastian Bach immer wieder ein. Er übertrug diese Praxis auch auf eigene Werke und arrangierte zahlreiche seiner Werke für spezielle Anlässe.

In der Tradition der Bach- Bearbeitungen steht auch die hier vorliegende CD des Elbipolis Barockorchesters Hamburg. Eingespielt wurden fünf Werke von Johann Sebastian Bach in eigens angefertigten Orchester- Arrangements von Jörg Jacobi sowie die vermutete Originalfassung der Ouverture h-Moll (BWV 1067) in einer Rekonstruktion von Werner Breig. Bachs Ouverture F-Dur für Cembalo (BWV 820) ist im sogenannten Andreas-Bach-Buch überliefert.
