I don’t think Jordi Savall’s recording is on LP, but just CD/SACD. I don’t really like Richter’s interpretations, or rather the recordings of his performances, probably due to the poor recording capability when he was recording. I think Pinnock may be my favorite, although the one by Swartz is good also, but not quite the same quality of interpretation as Pinnock.
Need some help with Brandenburgs
Not so long ago, we got a new amp and I suddenly realized how bad my Brandenburg concertos sounded, so they are gone. I do have them on CDs, but it's not the same - I need records.
So I need help, the number of recordings of the Brandenburgs is overwhelming. I saw a recommendation for Trevor Pinnock with the European Brandenburg Ensemble, can anyone second this? Or give other recommendations? Benjamin Britten? It looks as if Yehudi Menuhin spent a large part of his career recording them, which seems obsessive.
Any help will be appreciated!
