Comments: Bach's Overture is a reissue from the Overtures LP, while the other pieces were recorded anew, even those by Pachelbel and Vivaldi, which are different from the versions included in early LPs. Reissued at mid-price in the "Archiv Masters" series (Archiv 447 285-2 A MA (1 CD)), with the addition of Bach's Overture BWV 1070 from the same Ouvertures LP.
