Bach / English Chamber Orchestra / Philip Ledger – Brandenburg Concertos (No. 4 In G, BWV 1049 • No. 5 In D, BWV 1050 • No. 6 In B Flat, BWV 1051) (CD, 1987, MCA Classics MCAD-5957, Japan Manufacture)

Why This CD Matters
This program completes the second half of Bach’s six Brandenburg Concertos with Nos. 4, 5, and 6, each employing a distinctly different instrumental ensemble. Concerto No. 5 is especially notable for its extensive solo harpsichord writing, while No. 6 uses an unusually dark lower-string texture. Philip Ledger conducts the English Chamber Orchestra in this recording produced by Ben Turner and engineered by Tony Faulkner.
