Nikolaus Harnoncourt / Concentus Musicus Wien | Bach: Brandenburg Concertos Nos. 1–6 | 2LP

Nikolaus Harnoncourt and Concentus Musicus Wien bring a distinctive instrumental approach to the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. Their performances give individual lines, rhythmic detail and changing ensemble colours a clear presence within carefully shaped musical structures.

Nikolaus Harnoncourt conducts Concentus Musicus Wien in Bach's six Brandenburg Concertos. The two-LP programme places changing instrumental combinations and contrapuntal detail at the centre of the performance.
