Notes & Reviews:

On this new release from SDG, John Eliot Gardiner and his superb period-instrument chamber orchestra, the English Baroque Soloists, offer their unique interpretation of Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos. This is Gardiner’s ? rst recording of these works and it follows a phenomenal elevenconcert residency at the Spital? eds Music Winter Festival in December 2008 and January 2009. These concertos, described by Bach as ‘Concertos for several instruments’, are widely regarded as among the ?nest musical compositions of the Baroque. Now considered a benchmark of Baroque music, the concertos still have the power to move people almost three centuries later. Concert review: "Gardiner encouraged rampaging exuberance from his excellent horns, subtle dynamic variations from oboes and strings, and some unusually complex phrasing...delivered with such conviction." — THE TIMES
