Product Description
From Amazon.com
Boston Baroque and Martin Pearlman recorded a splendid set of the Brandenburg Concertos on period instruments in 1993 and 1994. Made entirely in the US, these snappy, crisply articulated, and fluent performances rely heavily on the talents of violinist Daniel Stepner (who doubles as one of the two solo violists in Concerto No. 6). Among the highlights are the joyous finale to Concerto No. 4 and the superb cembalo cadenza in No. 5, played by Pearlman. Along with outstanding sound, there's a winning sense of freshness and discovery in these performances. --Ted Libbey

Just perfect,
By Alwars (Madrid, Spain) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Brandenburg Ctos Comp (Audio CD)
I was looking for a good version of the concerts to keep forever and forget about others. And I found it. The Boston Baroque makes the best performance I have ever heard of the Six Concertos. Each CD also includes a little booklet with comments of each concerto (not extremely detailed but interesting).Careful! The "air" is not the usual modern one, that we might be used to. It is also performed on period instruments. But trust me (as it happened to me!). Listen to both CDs a couple of times and you'll realize that buying any other version is a waste of money. You will fall in love with them.

Great Pair of CDs,

This review is from: Brandenburg Ctos Comp (Audio CD)
I don't know much about classical music, but I must say that these CD's are great. I love the music and the production quality is perfect. I've heard the same pieces preformed by other groups and these CD's always sound far better to me.

If You Buy Only One Bach CD, Make This the One!,
This review is from: Brandenburg Ctos Comp (Audio CD)
I was always a fan of Mozart. To me, classical music was Mozart and only Mozart. That was until I heard the Brandenburg Concertos. These six movements opened my eyes and ears to the beautiful music of J.S. Bach. This two disc set by the Boston Baroque to me is the quintessential interpretation. There are many other very good versions out there, but this one seems to stick out head and shoulders above the rest. If you are a fan of music and don't have any Bach in your collection, get this. Young, old, middle-age, this is music that can (and should) be enjoyed by any generation. While Mozart's music is undeniably beautiful, Bach's works take first place in my opinion. This CD is a wonderful example why.
