Title: The lyrical approach to Bach's Brandenburg concertoes
Review: To start with, this version differs from all the other recorded versions in its perfectly balanced technical and lyrical sides. Jordi Savall's personal style and language are always present. I love this recording because Jordi Savall's imagination has transformed these concerts in a magical journey into this Bach's masterwork. In spite of being recorded with baroque instruments, it's unbelievably clean and vigorously sounding. All the solos, especially Manfredo Kreammer's violin, but also the trumpet, the oboes and the flutes in the fourth concerto are exceptional. The whole cycle of the six concerts sounds like one unit despite keeping the different character of each concert. And this is, in my opinion, caused by a masterful direction of Jordi Savall in a great cooperation with all these fantastic instrumentalists. These are simply the best Brandenburg concertos you can find on a recording.
