\n

The Six Brandenburg Concertos by Johann Sebastian Bach\n(1685-1750) are considered by musicians, critics and audiences\nalike among the finest musical compositions of the baroque era.\nBach presented the concertos to the Margrave of Brandenburg,\nChristian Ludwig, in Berlin, March 24, 1721, with the hopes some\npatronage would come his way. The music was preserved in the\nBrandenburg archives, and when rediscovered in the 19th century\nbecame some of the most beloved music of all time. Beloved is the\noperative word in this re-release of the masterpieces in the hands\nof JEANNE LAMON and the TAFELMUSIK BAROQUE ORCHESTRA. Critic Teb\nLibbey wrote, “Lucid and refreshingly pure, like water drawn from a\ncool, clear stream, these accounts are notable for the consistently\nclean textures and solid bass lines, for the way melodic lines and\nvoice leading are clearly delineated, and for the manner in which\nthe solo instruments emerge from the tutti with just the right\namount of presence. With excellent sound, these are well-nigh ideal\nrealizations.”
