Bach’s Bourrée #1 – David Kristensen

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

Just as the virtual ink on the virtual blog paper i’m writing on about Davids last post has dried, he sent me another little cracker of a track.
This time it’s Bach’s Bourrée #1 from Orchestral Suite no. 2. Short and sweet and sounding very nice indeed, being played on the Native Instruments Pro 53 soft synth.

This is what he says of it :

For this fast-paced piece from Bach’s second orchestral suite, i chose the Native Instruments Pro53 software synthesizer (emulation of the Sequential Circuits Prophet-5) as the logical continuation from the Moog Modular on the Gavotte (suite #4 in Bm).

Even though the Pro53 only has two oscillators, a single filter, I was able to coax some very nice sounds from it, naturally tuned in Werckmeister III-tuning for maximum authenticity.

The continuo (improvised chordal and ornamental line, typically played with a harpsichord) is one of my finest yet, I believe. And it was fully improvised in one go to guarantee that taste of synthetic authenticity you just don’t find these days ;)

Nice work David,  keep it up !.

David has produced several great renditions such as the one below of  W. A. Mozart’s Eine kleine Nachtmusik which was done completly on a Novation XioSynth in a W. Carlos style, which just go’s to show you don’t have to have a huge amount of equipement to product great sounding work.

David has since expanded his synth range and produced more pieces, his latest being J. S. Bach – Gavotte from Orchestral Suite no. 4 in D.
