Suitable for General Audiences
"For Bach´s Brandenburg Concertos we got to Cöthen Palace, and find the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra in a lovely room, standing round in a semi-circle, so that they really are making music together - on period instruments, of course, and at what are taken to be authentic tempos: i.e. mainly extremely brisk. It nearly all happens too fast for me, but the sense of pleasure the players radiate is strong." BBC Music Magazine

All Regions - Widescreen 16/9 - PCM Stereo / Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround - Colour - 109 Minutes - NTSC
The Brandenburg Concertos, a landmark in the history of music, receive a bright, spirited, highly skilled performance, using period instruments and baroque performance techniques
The Freiburg Baroque Orchestra has members with virtuoso skills, who take the spotlight gracefully for solos but also play with true ensemble spirit, exactly what the music requires
The performance is given in the elegant Hall of Mirrors of Coethen Castle, where the concertos were composed when Bach was the music director
The joyously infectious performance of these masterpieces by The Freiburg Baroque Orchestra demonstrates both the pleasure and highest professional standard that can be reached
State-of-the-art quality
