Also agree with the English Concert/Pinnock recommendation. Rcprince captures my thoughts exactly.
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?
