Munich Bach Orchestra/Karl Richter. Archiv 427 143-2 [2 CDs, with Concerto for Oboe d’amore and Strings (after BWV 1055) and Concerto for Violin, Oboe, and Strings (after BWV 1060)] (Brandenburg Concertos recorded 1967)
Better than most, Karl Richter knew that the Brandenburg Concertos are serious fun and ought to be played that way. There is a sense of joy in these wiry readings, of something elevated but at the same time earthy and jaunty and not too pious, that still delights after a quarter of a century – and nowhere does one get a better feeling for the extraordinary effloresence of Bach’s genius. The accounts are briskly paced and soloistic in approach, with every participant freely involved. While the intonation is at times a little less than precise, the overall effect is delightfully fresh and musical, and the recordings scarcely show their age. – Ted Libbey, author of The NPR Guide to Building a Classical CD Collection, reviewing a previous issue of this album.
