A Baroque favourite
Life, Ung-Aang Talay, Published on 07/02/2012
» J.S. Bach's six Brandenburgs are right up there with Vivaldi's The Four Seasons as some of the most popular works in the Baroque repertoire, but they are so musically rich that most listeners never tire of them. If you collect recordings of music by Bach, you probably have at least one set of Brandenburgs already, but this new release, in sparkling Blu-ray audio, is worth considering even if you already own several.

It spans three centuries and encompasses music dissimilar enough in style to make it challenging to the audience, whose ears will have to do quite a lot of style-sensitivity gear-changing.
