The violin concertos here are not the familiar pair in A minor and E. Bach composed a number of concertos for orchestral instruments and later transcribed them as keyboard concertos. Reversing Bach’s procedure, Wilfried Fischer has taken the harpsichord versions and from them has reconstructed the originals. BWV 1056 is a transposed transcription of the Keyboard Concerto in F minor (though New Grove identifies the outer movements as being from a lost oboe concerto). The D minor work is also usually heard in its keyboard adaptation. The concerto in C minor for two harpsichords appears in its original instrumentation for violin and oboe, the soloists here being perfectly balanced for clarity of line. It was Tovey who suggested that the A major concerto may have been intended for the oboe d’amore, an instrument pitched between the oboe proper and the cor anglais. These are period performances, lively and resonant, employing a supporting ensemble of 12 string players and a harpsichord. To allow for the pitch difference between Bach’s day and our own, the whole programme sounds about a semitone lower than the stated keys. A disc well worth exploring.– Wadham Sutton
The violin concertos are musically splendid: even if the melodies aren't very memorable, the orchestrations are still rich and lavish. This is the kind of music that would never dampen high spirits. Elizabeth Wallfisch conducts the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment with very little ego in mind: she never adds a heavy romantic touch to these baroque compositions, and she lets the music flow naturally and smoothly. The chamber orchestra itself sounds fine and especially impressive considering how the players are using period instruments. The soloists, including Wallfisch herself, give marvelous performances. Finally, the sound quality from Virgin Classics is a major plus.–amazon.com
