Review by John Purroy Jackson

The album "Brandenburgische Konzerte Nr 1-6" by Bach, Concentus Musicus Wien, Nikolaus Harnoncourt is a stunning collection of six concertos that showcase the brilliance of Bach's compositions. The orchestra, led by the legendary conductor Harnoncourt, delivers a powerful and rich performance that captures the essence of Bach's music.

The first concerto, in F major, features a lively and upbeat tempo that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The second concerto, in F major, is a beautiful display of the orchestra's ability to play in harmony, with each instrument contributing to the overall sound.

The third concerto, in G major, is a standout piece that highlights the skill of the soloists. The fourth concerto, in G major, is a slower and more contemplative piece that showcases the orchestra's ability to play with emotion and sensitivity.

The fifth concerto, in D major, is a dynamic and energetic piece that features some of the most intricate and complex music in the album. The final concerto, in B-flat major, is a triumphant and celebratory piece that brings the album to a satisfying conclusion.

"Brandenburgische Konzerte Nr 1-6" is a must-have for any classical music lover. The combination of Bach's masterful compositions, the exceptional performance by Concentus Musicus Wien, and Harnoncourt's exceptional leadership make this album a true masterpiece.
