Review title: Period abrasion
Product review: I generally prefer hearing Bach on period instruments but this set of Brandenburgs 4-6 is pretty abrasive at times and recording emphasizes this. The violin solo in the last movement of No. 4 is unbelievably scratchy. I used to own this disc but have since replaced it with Tafelmusik's complete set, which is cut from pretty much the same cloth as Pinnock's but is more musically relaxed and easier on the ears too. Since this Pinnock's set was made, period instrument work has advanced a long way so this now is swamped by he competition.
