The French Overture BWV 831 - Discography

Aryeh Oron wrote (February 3, 2007):
Following previous discographies of Bach's keyboard works (Inventions & Sinfonias, Duets, English Suites, French Suites, Neglected Suites, Partitas, WTC 1, Goldberg Variations), I have added now a comprehensive discography of the French Overture BWV 831 (= FO). AFAIK, this is the first ever web-discography of this work

As previously, I have used every possible source I could find, including web-catalogues, web-stores, web-magazines, artists' websites, labels' websites and other websites, as well as various printed catalogues and my personal collection.

You can find the list of recordings of the FO split into several pages, a page for a decade, through the main page of BWV 831 at the BCW: http://www.bach-cantatas.com/NVD/BWV831.htm
This page includes, as usual, internal links to reviews & discussions, as well as external links to other pages about this work.

The list includes only complete recordings of the FO. Recordings of individual movements are not included. All in all, 71 albums with the FO are listed. As in previous discographies in the BCW, each recording is listed only once. All the issues of each recording are presented together. If a performer has recorded the FO more than once, the info includes also the recording number.

If you are aware of a recording of the FO not listed in these pages, or if you find an error or missing information, please inform me, either through the BRML or to my personal e-mail address.
