Description

The Concerto No. 5 BWV 1050 occupies a special position in the history of instrumental concertos. Here - for the first time - Bach promotes the harpsichord from a basso continuo to a solo instrument. In this way the solo part for harpsichord became one of the longest and most complex Allegro of all Brandenburg Concertos.

There can be no doubt with the Concerto No. 6 that it was composed in respect of the musical capabilities and performance of the Court of Cothen. The parts of the violas da gamba are performed in a much simpler way than the violas, which may lead to the conclusion that Bach fulfilled the Prince's wishes to be able to participate in the performance.

Both Brandenburg Concertos are now released together with Bach's "Triple Concerto" in a stunning performance played by the Ensemble "I Barocchisti", conducted by Diego Fasolis. Discover brilliant baroque virtuosity and be swept away by this fascinating interpretation.

Stereophile.com (06.12.2007)


Playing with flair and virtuosity, I Barocchisti offer intelligent and musical performances of these works that can be thought of as the wise children of both historical movements.... Arts Music's recording clearly reveals Bach's varied and colorful instrumental combinations.

Pizzicato (17.08.2007)


"phantasievoll, sprühend, tänzerisch schwungvoll, mit musikalischem Gefühlsausdruck und praller Lebenslust......Eine tolle Aufnahme, auch klangtechnisch im ebenso diskreten wie effizienten Surround Sound"

Le Monde de la Musique (30.04.2007)


CHOC: “Fasolis shows that a new version has the chance to impose itself…He lets spring his musicians’ fantasy and altogether he keeps the coherence of the ensemble…I Barocchisti are stupefying for virtuosity and verve…Furthermore the recording is splendid and you must place this enthusiastic version among the best ever.”

tokafi.com (06.03.2007)


"While the entire group dives in headlong to get to the heart of every note, Diego Fasolis is not afraid to roll up his sleeves and get to work as well: In the stunning acme of the fith concerto's final minutes, he bombs down the score with a combustable harpsichord solo that has sparks flying and keys approaching point break"
