5.0 out of 5 stars A most stylish performance, 18 Dec 2007
By KazM (London) - See all my reviews
This is a most enjoyable recording (made in 1980). The performance by Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields led by Neville Marriner, at the peak of their powers, is very stylish and the tempi are well judged.

Some world-famous soloists participate - Henryk Szeryng (violin), Michala Petri (recorder), Jean-Pierre Rampal (flute) and Heinz Holliger (oboe).

There are many "period performance" recordings of this work by now, some of which are good. However, when you listen to a performance using modern instruments like this one under review, I wonder if period performance enthusiasts (including myself) are missing something important for the sake of pursuing "authenticity". Here in this performance, there are no problems of edgy tones of gut strings, dubious intonation of wind instruments and (occasionally) excessively fast tempi. All the notes appear to flow naturally.

The recording is very good. Strongly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good!, 17 April 2006
For those of you really into classical music, this album is a masterpiece. In my opinion the Brandenburg Concertos are musical masterpieces and this recording of them does not disappoint. The composer, Neville Marriner, takes the tempo about right most of the time, and the performance is generally very good. The recording is not the best, but this is not particularly noticeable, unless you're really listening out for it. Overall, a bargain given the price and the nature of the music.

4.0 out of 5 stars smooth but quite pedestrian, 22 May 2007
By rc_rc (Yorkshire, UK) - See all my reviews
Well recorded - stellar soloists - but fails to leave the ground. In a competitive market I cannot recommend this at all - for example Leppard's ECO recordings of comparable vintage are more characterised. Try the modern recordings of LA Chamber Orchestra, Chamber Orchestra of St Lukes, Scottish Chamber Orchestra (on Virgin) recordings for good modern instrument versions - this IS worth 4 stars but there are so many more worth 5 that it should be left on the shelf.
