Album Notes & Community Reviews

Trevor Pinnock directs The English Concert from the harpsichord in the six Brandenburg Concertos, BWV 1046 to 1051, recorded at Henry Wood Hall in London in 1982 with Simon Standage and David Reichenberg among the soloists. The set, Archiv Produktion 423 492, appeared when period instrument performances of the concertos were still rare, and it did much to establish the ensemble's international reputation.
