The Originals – Brandenburgische Konzerte 1-6

Very few conductors have recorded as much Bach as Karl Richter and none can lay a stronger claim to a legacy based on championing the master. Richter’s reverence for Bach is evinced by the simplicity, splendor, and grandeur with which he consistently imbued his performances exemplified here by these landmark recordings of the Brandenburg Concertos and Orchestral Suites. In Archiv’s original-image bit-processing remastered transfers as well, the sound is better than ever. This is cornerstone Bach that should not be missed.
