Following up on two earlier posts about Brandenburg 3 here is a look at another of the six famous concerti grossi, courtesy iconoclastic Bach intepreter John Eliot Gardiner and intrepid chamber orchestra English Baroque. The focus this time is the final work of the set – BWV 1051 for two violas, two gambas, cello and continuo – as seen from the player’s point of view.
I’m having a blast as a player in this piece myself, leading from the harpsichord this week at WCFSO.
