Bach Brandenberg Concertos CD Recommendation


I need a cd (only) recommendation for a complete set of the Brandenberg Concertos. I'd like a performance that has speed, rhythm and, of course , good sound. I was very disappointed with the recent Harmonia Mundi (label) offering. I thought it to be ponderous and oversized. I remember liking the old Nonesuch LP set. Any recommendations?

Please check out the 6 Brandenburg Concertos performed by the Musica Antiqua Koln conducted by Reinhard Goebel under the Archiv label. The performance has speed, energy and discipline without being overly regimented. To me, Trevor Pinnock's interpretation sounds overly technical and lacks a bit of life.
