Bach. The third movement is a melancholy yet lovingly affirmative Adagio of noteworthy
beauty. It is initially heard in the strings but the oboe and bassoon soon join in. After an
interlude with strings, horn and trumpet, the radiant melody returns. The final movement
features much accompaniment by the timpani, here brilliantly performed by timpanist Louise
Goodwin. There is also important thematic material from this fine orchestra.
