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?

I have enjoyed the Lucerne Festival Strings conducted by Rudolf Baumgartner (Jusef Suk - violin, Max Lesueur-viola, Aurele Nicolet - flute, Manfred Sax - bassoon)...although only on analog. I believe the CD catalog number is RCA Eurodisc 69219-2-RV.

For those who have compared, any opinions of this reading relative to the Pinnock, Goeble and Hogwood cited earlier?
