Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Reinhard Goebel and Musica Antiqua Köln recorded the Brandenburgs in 1986-87 in a style that one can refer to only as punk Baroque. Their readings are characterised by slashing accents, missing articulations, a de-emphasis of melody, and an overemphasis of metrical pulse, with an attendant exaggeration of Bach's otherwise wonderfully enlivening syncopations. Occasionally, the most peculiarly anachronistic cadential ritards get thrown in as well. The result has all the charm of an antipersonnel mine. For an idea of what their "extreme" Bach sounds like, listen to the first movement of Concerto No. 6, which Goebel and his gang take so disastrously fast it's laughable (they dispatch it in 4:25, compared with Boston Baroque's by no means poky 6:10). Makes you want to reach for your brass knuckles. --Ted Libbey

4.0 out of 5 stars in media res, 18 Feb 2008
Bach is one of the most conservative of the `great' composers, even more than Haydn. Compare his (sublime) orchestral/sacred works with, say, Telemann and they always sound -`old fashioned' by a generation. This has encouraged a view of him as calm, knowledgeable, `sacred' even in the most eccentric (when viewed from the score/orchestration) of his works, these Brandenburgs.. The same irony would have hit us in the 1940s looking at Vivaldi's Four Seasons ; how could that composer's most bizarre work (that is, based on poems) have been so famous and misunderstood (in terms of recording) until the much-vituperated but brilliant Harnoncourt's Alte Werks of the early 1970s?
Here too we have the paradox of a performance which is built up - as it were - from Biber and Schmelzer `forwards' as the most bizarre consort music ever penned; but sounds `backwards' from, not quite `punk' as the other reviewer puts it cheaply, but some kind of imaginary realm of Locatelli, Valentini, Platti. Bach as performed by a Venetian orchestra of the 18th century - ah, by Vivaldi, allora. Anyhow, this is extraordinary: the readings are often so brusque as to be rude - the weird use of editions `allows' for the most raking highlighting of individual instruments - take the second movement of the 6th were the bass is more or less solo. By no means a starter version, but fantastically rewarding in the end. Solemn reviewers often speak like teachers with their shoes on the table of `blowing away the cobwebs' - no, this sandblasts them.
