Yes the old nonesuch was the Karl Ristenpart/Chamber orchestra Of The Saar, very nice recording, but it is out of print. this orchestra did the DEFINITIVE Art of The Fugue by Bach, but is out of print as well. Yes i did say DEFINITIVE, to set the record straight. However i think this Warchal/slovak C. O. to be nice in all areas, tempo, instrumentation (nice sound), record quality, etc. I like it better than the Ristenpart.
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?
