This new release brings the overture – usually an orchestral introduction to an opera, ballet, suite or oratorio – to the organ, in innovative four hand arrangements. + From the solemn, majestic introductions to Handel’s Water Music and Bach’s Orchestral Suite № 3 to the troubadour song in the overture to Bizet’s Carmen and the dream-like world of Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite overture, the repertoire heard here is truly diverse. + Searching for the maximum effect in their colorful registrations, Pietro Pasquini and Francesco Zuvadelli play with their usual zest, insight and virtuosity.
