This recording literally overflows with enthusiasm both for the music itself and for the process of rendering that music. Andrew Manze and Rachel Podger are both impeccable, playing each other off wonderfully in the Double Concerto (D minor). The recording, while very, VERY close, nonetheless allows the listener to "see" both soloists (Manze is on the left, Podger on the right). The Concertos in A Minor and E Major for violin are both incredible, with Andrew Manze fearlessly sawing away with a boldness that is almost shocking at times, especially in the final Allegro Assai of the A minor. This disc includes a rendering of the Concerto in D minor for Two Violins (BWV 1060) that has come to us in a different form, as the Concerto for Oboe and Violin in C minor. Manze explains the rationale behind his "return" of the C minor Concerto to its original form, as a double concerto for two violins, in the detailed liner notes that accompany the CD. The Academy of Ancient Music plays with equal grace and fire throughout, an excellent accompaniment to the two wonderful soloists here. This disc earned the top recommendation from "The Rough Guide to Classical Music." True, as one other reviewer has put it, "Bach purists may be irked," but arguments aside, for the sheer joy of this music, this CD is not to be missed!
