Best Brandenburg Concerto recording CD

am i to assume that the question implies that the recording quality is important, or is the performance the primary factor ?

here are a couple of suggestions:

il giardino armonico on teldec and trevor pinnock's version on dgg arkiv.

i sampled sections of the pearlman recording of the brandenburgs today.

i find this performance lacks the spirit of the baroque period.

i guess this thread reveals that we all have our favorite performances and one is not intrinsically better than another.
