Editorial Review:
Boston Baroque and Martin Pearlman recorded a splendid set of the Brandenburg Concertos on period instruments in 1993 and 1994. Made entirely in the US, these snappy, crisply articulated, and fluent performances rely heavily on the talents of violinist Daniel Stepner (who doubles as one of the two solo violists in Concerto No. 6). Among the highlights are the joyous finale to Concerto No. 4 and the superb cembalo cadenza in No. 5, played by Pearlman. Along with outstanding sound, there's a winning sense of freshness and discovery in these performances. --Ted Libbey

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Brilliant with caveats
I bought this recording after seeing rave reviews here on Amazon and elsewhere. Mostly those reviews are justified. The sound is outstanding, whether because of the period instruments or the quality of recording. The many voices are brought out, especially in the first concerto, as they rarely are on other recordings. The musicianship is outstanding.
Now the things I didn't like (but others may like them):

Rating: - Wonderful
This two CD music set is wonderful, I have listen to it every week and am delighted to have added it to my collection. Worth the money.
Rating: - Best of baroque
If you are a lover of the baroque era, then this 2-CD collection performed by Boston Baroque is as good as it gets. The recordings have a faster tempi which sounds very good on most of these concertos and they are crisp and clear. The transitions, from the end of one , to the beginning of the next concerto are particularly good...they appera continuous. This is a collection that I had been looking for a long time and finally managed to find.
Rating: - Fantastic Rendition
This is a fantastic set of Concertos with a unique period sound, brisk pace and clear articulation. I highly recommend this distinct recording for those individuals with an interest in J.S. Bach and/or the famous Brandenburg Concertos.
Highly recommended.
Rating: - nobody tops Boston Baroque
I am just knocked out by Boston Baroque's performances and the technical perfection of their recordings. This music is still very much alive in these good hands. If you like Bach and you have a decent sound system, you'll play this one for your friends.
