{"title":"Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1986, a group of inquisitive London musicians took a long hard look at that curious institution we call the Orchestra, and decided to start again from scratch. They began by throwing out the rulebook. Put a single conductor in charge? No way. Specialise in repertoire of a particular era? Too restricting. Perfect a work and then move on? Too lazy. The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment (OAE) was born.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince then, the OAE has shocked, changed and mesmerised the music world. Residencies at Acland Burghley School, the Southbank Centre and Glyndebourne haven’t numbed its experimentalist bent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecord deals haven’t ironed out its quirks. Period-specific instruments have become just one element of its quest for authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday the OAE is cherished more than ever. It still pushes for change, and still stands for excellence, diversity and exploration. More than thirty years on, there’s still no orchestra in the world quite like it.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"j-s-bach-harpsichord-concertos-bwv-1052-1054-1055-1059","title":"J.S.
