Best Brandenburg

Michael B. Richman | Portland, Maine USA | 07/15/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Of all the Brandenburg Concertos I own or have heard, a list that includes accounts by Marriner, Pinnock, Goebel, Karajan, Klemperer and Menuhin among others, this is my favorite. Benjamin Britten, an astounding composer in his own right and a seemingly unlikely choice as conductor, leads the English Chamber Orchestra in truly magical performances from 1968. Please note that you can get these very same Brandenburg recordings as a Double Decker, or can just buy this title and its companion (Concertos 1-4) in the Penguin Classics series. Of course with the Double Decker set you get two incredible Bach Concerto performances by Neville Marriner tossed in, while here you get one Violin Concerto with Arthur Grumiuax. The Double Decker set also costs less than the two Penguin Classics titles, but either way you are getting the best Brandenburg available."
