Description:
The Brandenburg Concertos are a collection of six instrumental works presented by Bach to Christian Ludwig, Margrave of Brandenburg-Schwedt. They are widely regarded as some of the best orchestral compositions of the Baroque era. The word grosso simply means “large,” for there are more soloists than was customary at the time, and the music tends to be more expansive. In the case of the Brandenburg Concerto No. 1, the soloists are so numerous that the work is virtually symphonic. At various points in the composition, Bach crafted solo roles for one violin, three oboes, one bassoon, and two horns―nearly as many musicians as might constitute a small orchestra. The second concerto of the set has a perilously high trumpet solo as well as solos for recorder (or flute), oboe, and violin. Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 features three each of violins, violas, and cellos. Soloists in the fourth concerto include two flutes and a violin and in the fifth a flute, a violin, and a harpsichord. Brandenburg Concerto No. 6, the only piece in the collection to include no violins whatsoever, spotlights the lower strings, supplemented, as always, by the harpsichord.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfectly balanced, beautifully recorded and masterfully played.
A perfectly balanced, beautifully recorded and masterfully played version of the Brandenburgs. An absolute delight, as are all of JSB's works. And for the price - a steal.

往年の名演奏!!!
私の所有するCDは1995年のSeraphimレーベルでのものだったが、このCDはマスタリングも新しくなり、格段に音質も良くなり録音年を感じさせないものとなっている。メニューイン自身も演奏に加わっており、5番のハープシコードを担当しているジョージ マルコムも控えめな演奏で落ち着いた演奏をしている。
演奏はともかく、録音のつくりが・・・
気になります。1番は特に強音で気になります。ベッドサイド用に使っているラジオでモノラルとして再生すると、確実に歪みます。2番もせっかく透明感のありそうな演奏なのににごって聞こえる箇所があり残念です。++++++再生装置を変えて聴き、表現と星の数を訂正しました。++++++再度装置を変えて聴き、表現を訂正しました。私の耳には歪みっぽく聞こえるところがあるのですが、もしかしたらそういうマスタリング・音作りなのかもしれません。ヴィオリーノ・ピッコロやリコーダーを使った演奏ですが、ピリオド系というわけではありません。英国とはいえ、1959年録音ですから。CD1ブランデンブルク協奏曲 BWV 1046〜1051 : Bath Festival OrchestraNo.1:Violino piccolo: MenuhinNo.2:Tpt.: Denis Clift, Rec.: Christopher Taylor, ob.: Janet Craxton: Vln.: MenuhinNo.3CD2No.4:Rec.: Christopher Taylor, Richard Taylor, Vln.: MenuhinNo.5:Fl.: Elaine Shaffer, Hpsc.: George Malcolm, Vln: MenuhinNo.6:Vla: Menuhin, Patrick Ireland, Vla. da gamb.: Ambrose Gauntlett, Dennis Nesbiff, Vc.: Derek Simpsonヴァイオリン協奏曲 イ短調 BWV 1041 : Robert Masters Chamber OrchestraVln. & Dir.: Menuhin

演奏はリコーダーの音が好みが分かれるでしょうがまあ良いとして、装丁が悲しいです。値段からすると仕方ないですが。
