[ Brilliant Classics Quintessence / 5 CD Box Set ]
Release Date: Friday 25 September 2020
Bach's set of six Brandenburg concertos remains among his most attractive works. Recorded by Muscia Amphion, a specialized Dutch period instrument ensemble led by harpsichordist Pieter-Jan Belder.
Musica Amphion delivers highly energetic performances. The musicians are joined by several of the most prominent early music specialists such as Wilbert Hazelzet on flute and Daniel Brüggen on the recorder.
"Zehetmair is by no means just a brilliant violinist; he is a very sincere musician...This is a most rewarding reissue. Even those lovers of baroque music who usually avoid modern instrument performances, should consider this disc." MusicWeb [Concertos]
